Question

Enzymes that catalyse removal of group of atoms from substrate molecule, other than hydrolysis, leaving double bonds are______.

Options

• Transferases

• Ligases

• Hydrolases

• Lyases

Answer 1

Enzymes that catalyse removal of group of atoms from substrate molecule, other than hydrolysis, leaving double bonds are Lyases.

Explanation:

1. Transferases shift functional groups from one molecule to another.
2. Ligases join two large molecules using the energy obtained from hydrolysis of an energy-rich compound like ATP, GTP.
3. Hydrolases use water to break bonds.
