Enzymes that catalyse the removal of groups from the substrates by a mechanism other than hydrolysis are called
Options
- ATransferases
- BLyases
- CIsomerases
- 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
