Substrate:Cosubstrate Major Class
EC1: Oxidoreductase
Redox reaction
Elimination reaction
EC2: Transferases
Transfer of groups
Substitution reaction
EC3: Hydrolase
Hydrolysis
Uses H2O to break covalent bonds
EC4: Lyases
Covalent bond breaking
Produces double bond (e.g. o==o)
EC5: Isomerases
Isomers
Exchange of functional groups
EC6: Ligases
Formation of new covalent bond
ATP as an activtor of the substrate
Convert poor leaving group into a good leaving group
Synthase
No ATP
Synthetase
Uses ATP
EC7: Translocases
Extracellular to intracellular
Uses ATP for conformation changes
