“HUGS take 2 (both)”
Kinase
Catalyzes a transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule (usually ATP) to a substrate
phosphorylase
Adds inorganic phosphate onto a substrate w/o using ATP
Phosphatase
Removes phosphate group from substrate
Dehydrogenase
Catalyses oxidation-reduction reactions
Hydroxylase
Adds hydroxyl group (-OH) onto a substrate
Carboxylase
Transfers CO2 groups w/ the help of biotin
Mutase
Relocates a functional group w/i a molecule
