Question:
What are the different classes of enzymes? Explain any two with the type of reaction they catalyse.
Solution:
There are different classes of enzymes. They are Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Hydrolase, Lysates, Isomerase, ligases.
(a) Oxidoreductase:
These are the enzymes which help in simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two substrates.
S reduced + S’reduced → S oxidized + S’ oxidized
(b) Hydrolases:
These enzymes facilitate the hydrolysis of a molecule.
Sucrose → Glucose + Fructose
