Question

Identify the 2 major groups of enzymes that make the redox reactions possible: Describe their role in these reactions.

Answer 1

Answer:Enzymes that makes redox reactions possible in a biochemical process includes those that help to catalyze the transfer of electrons, atoms, or functional groups.

Explanation:

Here are some class categories of these enzymes and their roles ;

• Oxidoreductases - Transfer of electrons (hydride ions or H atoms)

• Transferases - Group- transfer reactions

• Hydrolases - Hydrolysis reactions (transfer of functional groups to water)

• Lyases - Addition of groups to double bonds, or formation of double bonds by removal of groups Transfer of groups within molecules to yield isomeric forms

• Isomerases - Formation of C-C, C-S, C--0, and C-N bonds by condensation reactions coupled to ATP cleavage

The above are however classified, given code numbers, and assigned names according to the type of transfer reaction, the group donor, and the group acceptor.
