Enzyme Classes Flashcards
learn the functions
Oxidoreductases
add or remove one or more electrons from or to substrates.
Transferases
transfer a group from one substrate to another.
Hydrolases
carry out the hydrolysis of substrates.
Lyases
carry out the cleavage of a molecule into parts
Isomerases
rearrange a substrate into an isomeric form
Ligases
join molecules together by condensation, usu. eliminating water.
Isozymes
different enzyme that carry out the same reaction but with different regulatory properties or in different locations within the organism
