Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub

Enzymes catalysing a transfer of $G$ group, (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates, S and ${\mathrm{S}}^{\prime }$ are known as transferases. $\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{G}+{\mathrm{S}}^{\#}\to \mathrm{S}+{\mathrm{S}}^{\#}-\mathrm{G}$ - Ligases catalyse the linking together of 2 compounds such as $C-O,C-S,C-N$ bonds etc - Lyases catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C},\mathrm{C}$ - halide or $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{N}$ bonds.
