A

Transferases

18
Q

Catalyze the hydrolysis breakdown by water of various substrates example include lipases break down fats and proteases break down proteins

A

Hydrolases

19
Q

Catalyze the removal of groups from one substrates without hydrolysis they make cleave or form bonds

A

Lyases

20
Q

Capitalize the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule converting it from one isomer to another

A

Isomerases

21
Q

Also known as synthetases these enzymes facilitate the joining of two molecules often coupled with the hydrolysis of atp

A

Ligases

22
Q

Are typically composed of two main components the protein moity and the cofactor or coenzyme

A

Enzymes

23
Q

Protein moiety

A

•amino acid
• three dimensional structure
• active site

24
Q

Enzymes or proteins and their primary structure consists of a liner chain of amino acids the sequence of this amino acids is specific to each enzyme and determines its unique three dimensional structure and function

A

Amino acid

25
Q

The linear amino acid chain folds into a complex three dimensional structure this structure is crucial for the enzymes catalytic activity as the active site the region where the substrate binds and the catalytes occurs is typically a specific pocket or cleft within this structure

A

3D structure

26
Q

The active site is the region where the enzymes interacts with its substrate is often as a pacific shape and chemical properties that allows it to bind to the substrate with high specificity

A

Active site

27
Q

Some enzymes require non protein molecules known as cofactors to be fully functional cofactors can be metal ions zinc iron magnesium or small organic molecules

A

Cofactors

28
Q

Coenzymes are organic molecules that function as the cofactors they are often derived from vitamins and assist the enzyme in catalyzing reactions

A

Coenzyme

29
Q

The combination of protein and coenzyme/cofactors

A

Holoenzyme

30
