Question

Enzymes catalysing the cleavage of specific covalent bonds and removal of groups without hydrolysis:

• A. Hydrolase
• B. Lyases
• C. Oxidoreductase
• D. Transferases

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lyases

• Lyases are a group of enzymes that cleaves a specific covalent bond and removes the group without hydrolysis.
• Hydrolases break down the substrate in the presence of water.
• Transferases are involved in the transfer of any group except hydrogen.
• Oxidoreductases are enzymes that catalyse oxidation or reduction of substrates involving hydrogen transfer.
