Q: The enzymes that are involved in the cleavage of C-C by atom elimination concept are called _____.
  • A. Lyases
  • B. Transferases
  • C. Ligases
  • D. Isomerases
Correct Answer: Option A - Enzymes are the biocatalysts. Most of the enzymes have been classified into different groups based on the type of reactions they catalyze as: 1. Transferases:- The enzymes catalyzing the transfer of a group, G (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrate S and S are known as transferases. 2. Lyases:- The enzymes that catalyze the removal of a group from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds are known as Lyases. 3. Isomerases:- The enzymes that catalyzes inter-conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers are known as isomerases. 4. Ligases:- The enzymes catalyzing, the linking together of 2 compounds are known as ligases. Some other are as Oxidoreductases/dehydrogenases, hydrolases.
