I believe the answer is:

enzyme

(Other definitions for enzyme that I've seen before include "Catalytic protein molecule" , "Protein acting as a catalyst in biochemical reactions" , "Cell-produced protein" , "Biochemical catalyst produced in the body" , "Protein produced by cells that acts as a biochemical catalyst" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
