Enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C - C , C - halide or P - N bonds belong to which of the following classes?

Options

  1. AHydrolases
  2. BLyases
  3. CLigases
  4. DTransferases

Correct answer

A. Hydrolases

Step-by-step solution

According to the NCERT classification of enzymes, Hydrolases are the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C - C , C - halide or P - N bonds. The other options are incorrect because Lyases catalyse the removal of groups leaving double bonds, Ligases catalyse the joining of two compounds, and Transferases catalyse the transfer of a group other than hydrogen. Answer: Hydrolases
