Question

Match each function with the correct enzyme class.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct matching pairs are:

1) - B)

2)- E)

3) - A)

4) - F)

Explanation:

Transferases (B): Transeferases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving the transfer of certain functional groups. (1)

Example: Transaminase transfers nitrogenous groups

Isomerases (E): Isomerases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes isomerization reactions and intramolecular rearrangements. (2)

Example: Triosephosphate isomerase interconverts aldoses and ketoses

Oxidoreductases (A): Oxidoreductases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes redox reactions (3) which involves the simultaneous transfer of electron.

Example: Alcohol oxidoreductases acts on the alcohol functional group

Ligases (F): Ligases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving chemical bond formation between two molecules. (4)

Example: DNA ligase joins DNA fragments
