Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction :
Where, a group other than hydrogen
a substrate
another substrate
Options
- AHydrolase
- BLyase
- CTransferase
- DLigase
Correct answer
C. Transferase
Step-by-step solution
Enzymes catalysing a transfer of group, (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates, S and are known as transferases.
- Ligases catalyse the linking together of 2 compounds such as 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, - halide or bonds.
