Enzymes are bigger than DNA as they are proteins and proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids which are bigger than nucleotides. This can also be proved by gel electrophoresis, where denatured protein would not move but denatured DNA will move to a distance. Protein synthesis is regulated by small portions of DNA, called genes.

HOLA!!!✌
Here's your answer:-
- Enzymes are smaller than DNA molecules in terms of size. DNA contains genetic information for the development and functioning of all living organisms.
- It contains all the information of the synthesis of proteins necessary for the proper functioning of the cells. The part of the DNA that contains all this information constitutes only 5-7% of the entire DNA in a cell.
- So, it clearly shows that DNA is many times bigger than the enzymes.
Hope it helps!!! (:✌
