Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyses the following reaction : S - G + S' S + S' - G Where, G a group other than hydrogen S a substrate S' another substrate
- Transferase
- Ligase
- Hydrolase
- Lyase
Answer
(1) Transferase
Solution
In the reaction, a group G (other than hydrogen) is removed from substrate S and transferred to another substrate S′.
Enzymes that catalyse the transfer of a group (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates are transferases.
Answer: (1)
