I found the full exercise on the internet. Attached are the images of <span>enzymatically catalyzed reactions.
Reaction a) - </span>acyl phosphate to carboxylate and phosphate.
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is the a<span>cylphosphatase, which is a hydrolase, because it uses molecules of water in the reaction.
Reaction b) - </span><span>ATP + an L-amino acid + an L-amino acid </span>to<span> ADP + phosphate + L-aminoacyl-L-amino acid.
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is the </span><span>L-amino-acid alpha-ligase, which is a ligase because it preforms the bonding of two large molecules.
</span>
Reaction a) - glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-1,6-bisphosphate to glucose-6-phosphate
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is the Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate synthase, which is a transferase because it transfers a phosphate group from a <span>donating to an accepting molecule.
Reaction b) - </span>
+
to NADH+
<span>
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is a </span><span>oxidoreductase because it helps oxidising and reducing molecules.
Reaction c) - </span>α-keto acid + Glutamate to Aminoacid + α-ketoglutarate
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is an aminotransferase, which is a transferase because it transfers an amino group from a donating to an accepting molecule.
Reaction c) - produces a molecule of
The enzyme that catalyses this reaction is a Carboxy-lyase, which is a lyase because it adds or removes carboxyl<span> groups from organic molecules.</span>
