Lyases catalyze through
Options
- Aremoval of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds.
- Blinking together of two compounds
- Ctransfer of a group, other than hydrogen, between a pair of substrates
- Dinter-conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers.
Correct answer
A. removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds.
Step-by-step solution
Enzymes are proteins that catalyse biological reactions. These enzymes are grouped or categorized as per their reaction mechanism. They are divided in 6 classes. 1 - Oxidoreductase/dehydrogenase - catalyse oxidoreduction reaction. 2 - Transferase - Cataysing transfer of functional group 3 - Hydrolases - Catalyses hydrolysis of compounds. 4 - Lyases - catalyses removal of groups by mechanism other than hydrolysis 5 - Isomerases - Catalysing inter conversion of isomers 6 - Ligases - catalysing linking of two compound
