Answer» Answer: The enzymes are classified into 6 different classes based on the TYPES of REACTIONS they catalyse: Oxidoreductase/ DEHYDROGENASE: Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates. Transferases: Enzymes catalysing a transfer of a GROUP between a pair of substrates. Hydrolases: Enzymes catalysing hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide and halides. Lyases: Enzymes that catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds. Isomerases: Include all enzymes catalysing inter conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers. Ligases: Enzymes catalysing the linking together of 2 compounds. |
