Question

Enzymes catalysing removal of groups and formation of double bond are

• A. Transferases
• B. Ligases
• C. Lyases
• D. Oxidoreductases

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lyases

Lyase is the enzyme by which the chemical bonds are broken down by the process other than hydrolysis and oxidation. It allows the formation of new bond.

Ligase are the enzyme which catalyzes the joining of two large molecules by formation of chemical bonds.

Oxoreductase are the enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation and reduction reaction.

Transferase involves the transfer of functional group from one molecule to the other.

So, the correct answer is option C.
