Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction : S - G + S ^ # ~S + S ^ # - G Where, G a group other than hydrogen S a substrate S ^ # another substrate

Step-by-step solution

Enzymes catalysing a transfer of G group, (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates, S and S ^ are known as transferases. S - G + S ^ # ~S + S ^ # - G - Ligases catalyse the linking together of 2 compounds such as C-O, C-S, C-N bonds etc - Lyases catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C - C , C - halide or P - N bonds.
