Question
Select the type of enzyme involved in the following reaction
S - G + S' S + S' - G
Lyase
Transferase
Hydrolase
Dehydrogenase
Solution
B.
Transferase
Transferase is a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of a group of atoms from one molecules to another.
Lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure.
Hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a particular substrate.
Dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyses the removal of hydrogen atoms from a particular molecule, especially in ETC reactions.
