B2-075 - Enzyme Nomencalture Flashcards
Lysozyme
Enzymes that catalyze the same chemical reaction but reaction rates differ often as well as tissues
Class 1
oxidoreductases
What are common oxidoreductase coenzymes
NADPH, NADH, FADH2
Common oxidoreductase enzyme names
Dehydrogenase, peroxidase, Reductase
Special names of oxidoreductase
oxidase, hydroxylase, cytochrome p450
What is cytochrome P450
an oxidoreductases
Class 2
Transferases
What is the enzyme name typically of transferases
Which chemical group is transferred or what chemical group is synthesized
what do glycosyl, methyl, carbonyl, and acyl referring to
Glycosyl - carbohydrate
methyl - CH3
carbonyl - carbon
acyl - fatty acids
what are some special names of transferases
aminotransferases, kinase (transfers a phosphate group usually from ATP), synthase (Indicates what kind of product is formed like glycogen synthase)
class 3
Hydrolase
What do hydrolases do
split bonds by splitting water, many common names do not mention hydro
common names of hydrolases that don’t mention hydro
protease, esterase, phosphates, peptides, urease
class 4
lyase
what are lyases
catch all class cleave C-C, C-O, C-S, C-N bonds by means other than oxidation or hydrolysis Form C=C bonds by removing H2O from COH-CH
examples of common names of isomerases
epimerase, racemase, mutase
Class 6
ligase
what do ligaes do
form C-C, C-S, C-O and C-N bonds, require ATP or other nucelotides
what is another common name of ligases
synthetase
What groups does ATP/ADP/AMP carry
phosphorylation groups, chemical energy, protein phosphorylation
What groups does NADH/NAD+ carry
shuttle electrons for redox of biological fuels, help produce ATP
what group sdo NADPH/NADP+ carry
shuttle electrons for oxidation in biosynthesis reactions
What groups do FADH2,FAD/FMNH2/FMN carry
shuttle electrons for redox of biological fuels, more powerful than NADs, always bound to a protein
what does coenzyme A carry
Acyl groups
