Options
- A(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Correct answer
C. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
Ligases are enzymes that catalyse the linking together of two compounds, such as joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, P-O etc. bonds. Thus, (A) matches with (II). Lyases are enzymes that catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis, leaving double bonds. Thus, (B) matches with (I). Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds. Thus, (C) matches with (IV). Isomerases are enzymes that catalyse the inter-conversion of op
