E. Both A and B.

Enzymes, which can catalyze chemical reactions, are a type of protein. Moreover, proteins can either be fibrous and insoluble in water like actin and myacin, or globular and soluble like hemoglobin. DNA, which stores the genetic information, is not made of proteins. Lastly, proteins are made through the translation of mRNA at the ribosomes.
