Enzymes catalysing a transfer of G group, (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrates, S and S′ are known as transferases. S−G+S#→ S+S#−G - Ligases catalyse the linking together of 2 compounds such as C−O,C−S,C−N bonds etc - Lyases catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C−C,C - halide or P−N bonds.
Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction : S- G+ S^# → ~S+ S^#- G Where, G → a group other than hydrogen S → a substrate…
