enzymes Flashcards
oxireductases function
REDOX rxns that involve electron transfer
transferases do what
move a functional group from one molecule to another
hydrolases functions
catalyze cleavage w/ addition of water
lyase function
catalyze cleavage without water or electron transfer
synthesis is the reverse reaction of
lyases
isomerases catalyze the
interconversion of isomers including both constitutional isomers and stereoisomers
ligases join
two large biomolecules, usually of the same type
lipases catalyze
the hydrolysis of fats
dietary fats are broken down into
fatty acids and glycerol/other alcohols
kinases do what
ADD a phosphate group
kinases and phosphatases are what type of enzyme
transferase
phosphatases do what
REMOVE a phosphate group
phsphorylases introduce a
phosphate group into an organic molecule (i.e. glucose)
