NEETBotanyBiomolecules (B)
Which of the following class of enzymes catalyses hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds.?
Options
- AOxidoreductases/dehydrogenases
- BTransferases
- CHydrolases
- DLyases
Correct answer
C. Hydrolases
Step-by-step solution
Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates S and S’ . Enzymes catalysing a transfer of a group, G (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrate S and S’. Hydrolases catalyses hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds. Enzymes catalysing a transfer of a group, G (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrate S and S’ . Enzymes that catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds.
