Enzymes

enzymes are classified by the kind of reaction they catalyze

The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has developed a nomenclature for enzymes; the top-level classification is

Oxidoreductases: catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions Transferases: transfer a functional group (e.g. a methyl or phosphate

group) Hydrolases: catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds Lyases: cleave various bonds by means other than hydrolysis and

oxidation Isomerases: catalyze isomerization changes within a single molecule Ligases: join two molecules with covalent bonds
