Title: Acid-Base, Covalent or Metal Ion catalysis

A proton is transferred between enzyme and substrate -- would this be considered Acid-base catalysis?

Not an example. In acid catalysis and base catalysis a chemical reaction is catalyzed by an acid or a base. The acid is often the proton and the base is often a hydroxyl ion.
