|
What enzyme class do Kinases belong to and what do they do?
|
Transferases, kinases that performs a transfer of a phosphate group
|
|
|
What enzyme class do Mutases belong to?
|
A mutase is an enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyzes the shifting of a functional group from one position to another within the same molecule
|
|
|
What does an isomerase enzyme do?
|
It catalyzes the rearrangement of functional groups within a molecule to form isomers, called isomerization
|
|
|
What does a transferase enzyme do?
|
A transferase enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another or within a single molecule
|
|
|
What does a hydrolase enzyme do?
|
It causes a cleavage of bonds by water, otherwise known as the transfer of functional groups to water.
This is known as a hydrolytic cleavage or hydrolysis |
|
|
What do lyases do?
|
A lyase catalyzes the splitting of a molecule by a nonhydrolytic process
This is known as a nonhydrolytic cleavage |
|
|
What do oxidoreductases(Dehydrogenases) do?
|
They catalyze the transfer of electrons, this is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction
|
|
|
What enzyme class is a synthase?
|
A synthase is a ligase, which means it catalyzes the formation of carbon-carbon and other bonds with energy from ATP
