Which of the following generic reactions correctly represents the catalytic action of the enzyme class Oxidoreductases (dehydrogenases)?

Options

  1. AS - G + S' S + S' - G
  2. BS reduced + S' oxidised S oxidised + S' reduced
  3. CS oxidised + S' oxidised S reduced + S' reduced
  4. DX-C-C-Y X-Y + C=C

Correct answer

B. S reduced + S' oxidised S oxidised + S' reduced

Step-by-step solution

Enzymes are divided into 6 classes. Oxidoreductases (or dehydrogenases) are enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates S and S'. The generic reaction for this class is represented as: S reduced + S' oxidised S oxidised + S' reduced The reaction S - G + S' S + S' - G represents the action of Transferases, which transfer a group 'G' between substrates. The reaction X-C-C-Y X-Y + C=C represents the action of Lyases, which remove groups leaving double bonds. The reaction showing both substrates oxidis
