Question

Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyse the following reaction:

S − G + S^# → S + S^# − G

where, G → a group other than hydrogen

S → a substrate

S^# → another substrate

विकल्प

• Hydrolase

• Lyase

• Transferase

• Ligase

Answer 1

Transferase

Explanation:

A group (G) is transferred from one molecule (S − G) to another substrate (S^#), creating a new chemical (S^# − G). This is a feature of the transferase class of enzymes, which facilitates the movement of functional groups (such as phosphate, glycosyl, or methyl) between molecules.
