Subclass of Enzymes
Subclasses and reactions catalyzed
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| class 1 oxidases reductases dehydrogenases | oxidation reduction intro of a double bond (oxidation) by removoal of H2 from substrate, the H being accepted by a coenzyme |
| class 2 transaminases kinases | transfer of an amino group betw. substrates transfer of a phosphate group betw. substrates |
| class 3 lipases proteases nucleases carbohydrases phosphatases | hydrolysis of ester linkages in lipids hydrolysis of amide linkages in proteins hydrolysis of sugar-phosphate ester bonds in nucleic acids hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in carbs hydrolysis of phosphate-ester bonds |
| class 4 dehydrases decarboxylases deaminases | removal of H2O from substrate removal of CO2 from substrate removal of NH3 from substrate |
| class 5 racemases mutases | conversion of D to L isomer, or vice versa conversion of one structural isomer into another |
| class 6 synthases carboxylases | formation of new bond between 2 substrates, with participation of ATP formation of new bond between substrate and CO2, with participation of ATP |
