Enzymes Flashcards
Oxidoreductase
redox reactions
Transferase
transfer of C-, N-, P- containing group
Hydrolase
cleavage by addition of water
Lyase
cleavage of C-C, C-S, C-N bonds
Isomerase
racemization of optical or geometric isomers
Ligase
formation of bonds between C and O, S, N coupled to hydrolysis of high-energy phosphates
