Question

Choose the type of enzyme involved in the following reaction.

$S-G+S^{\prime }⟶S+S^{\prime }-G$

• A. Dehydrogenase
• B. Transferase
• C. Hydrolase
• D. Lyase
• E. Isomerase

Answer 1

The correct option is B Transferase

Based on the type of reaction catalyzed, the international union of biochemist have classified enzymes into six major classes- Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Hydrolase, Lyase, Ligase and Isomerase.
Transferase is the general name for the class of enzymes that enact the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).
