Oxidoreductase
A
oxidation-reduction in which oxygen and hydrogen are gained or lost
1
Q
Transferase
A
Transfer of functional groups, such as an amino group, acetyl group, or phosphate group
2
Q
Hydrolase
A
hydrolysis (addition of water)
3
Q
Lyase
A
removal of groups of atoms without hydrolysis
4
Q
Isomerase
A
rearrangement of atoms within a molecule
5
Q
Ligase
A
joining of two molecules (using energy usually derived from the breakdown of ATP)
6
Q
Coenzymes
A
non protein organic molecules that are required for catalysis. r.g biotin, NAD+, FAD
7
Q
Co-factors
A
inorganic substances that are required for catalysis e.g. metal ions
8
Q
Holoenzymes
A
combo of protein and coenzymes/co-factor
9
Q
Apoenzymes
A
the protein alone without the co-enzyme
