Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub

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 compounds.

Enzyme$4\mathrm{ }\mathrm{a}.\mathrm{b}.\mathrm{c}$. belongs to the group of lyases which catalyses break down of substrates by means other than hydrolysis.
