Enzymes that catalyse the transfer of molecules except H, O and electron are called as
Options
- ALigases
- BIsomerases
- CLyases
- DTransferases
Correct answer
D. Transferases
Step-by-step solution
Enzymes are proteinaceous compounds that accelerate a chemical reaction without changing its direction. Based on types of reaction, they catalyze the enzymes are of the following six types: (i) Oxidoreductase-transfer of H and O atoms or electrons from one substance to another, e.g., Dehydrogenase, oxidase, catalase. (ii) Transferases-transfer of a functional group from one substance, e.g., Phosphorylase, kinase. (iii) Hydrolases-hydrolysis of the substrate e.g., Lipase, amylase, peptidase, protease, etc. (iv) Lyas
