Lyases catalyze through

Options

  1. Aremoval of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds.
  2. Blinking together of two compounds
  3. Ctransfer of a group, other than hydrogen, between a pair of substrates
  4. 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
