Enzymes that catalyse the removal of groups from the substrates by a mechanism other than hydrolysis are called

Options

  1. ATransferases
  2. BLyases
  3. CIsomerases
  4. DLigases

Correct answer

B. Lyases

Step-by-step solution

Enzymes are biocatalysts. These decrease the activation energy of the reaction. These are divided into six classes depending of mode of action. 1 . Oxidoreductase: These Enzymes bring about oxidation-reduction reaction. 2 . Hydrolase: These break down substrates with the help of water molecules. 3 . Transferase: These enzymes bring about transfer of functional groups. 4 . These bring about removal of groups from substrates without using water. 5 . Isomerases: These form isomers of compounds. 6 . Ligases: These form
