Q.

The following reaction depicts the activity of a particular class of enzymes :

Identify the enzymes class ‘E’ from the following options :

  1. A

    Transferases

  2. B

    Isomerases

  3. C

    Lyases

  4. D

    Ligases

Solution

Lyases catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by non-hydrolytic mechanisms, often leaving a double bond, exactly as shown in the reaction.

Transferases transfer a group between two substrates, isomerases interconvert isomers, and ligases join two compounds together using ATP.
