Read the following statements regarding the classification of enzymes: (A) Transferases catalyse a transfer of a group, including hydrogen, between a pair of substrates. (B) Hydrolases catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds. (C) Lyases catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by hydrolysis leaving double bonds. (D) Isomerases include all enzymes catalysing inter

Correct answer
A. Two
Step-by-step solution
Statement (A) is incorrect because transferases are enzymes that catalyse the transfer of a group 'other than hydrogen' between a pair of substrates. Statement (B) is correct as hydrolases catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds. Statement (C) is incorrect because lyases catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms 'other than hydrolysis' leaving double bonds. Statement (D) is correct as isomerases include all enzymes catalysing inter-conversion of op
