Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyzes the following reaction : S reduced + S' oxidised S oxidised + S' reduced

Options

  1. ATransferase
  2. BIsomerase
  3. COxidoreductase
  4. DLyase

Correct answer

C. Oxidoreductase

Step-by-step solution

Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates S and S' are known as oxidoreductases or dehydrogenases. The reaction is represented as: S reduced + S' oxidised S oxidised + S' reduced Transferases catalyse the transfer of a group (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates. Isomerases catalyse the interconversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers. Lyases catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis, leaving double bonds. Answer: Oxidoreductase
