Hi Rajarshi,
Wikipedia is made by men, and men are not perfect. If Wikipedia was 
written by God, such problems would not exist.
If you find some disagreement between DBpedia and the current Wikipedia, 
it depends on the fact that DBpedia dumps refer to march 2010.
If you run this SPARQL query:

http://dbpedia-live.openlinksw.com/sparql?default-graph-uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org&should-sponge=&query=select+*+where+{%0D%0A%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FCategory%3AEnzymes%3E+skos%3Abroader+%3Fo%0D%0A}&debug=on&timeout=&format=text%2Fhtml&save=display&fname=

  on this endpoint http://dbpedia-live.openlinksw.com/sparql you won't 
see such disagreement.

All the best,
roberto
