Enzymology
Enzymes
proteins that act as biological catalysts
Oxidoreductases
classification of enzymes that transfer electrons.
transferases
classification of enzymes that group transfer reactions.
Hydrolases
classification of enzymes that hydrolysis reaction, (transfer of functional group to water)
Lyases
classification of enzymes that add groups to double bonds, or formation of double bonds by
removal of groups.
Isomerases
classification of enzymes that transfer groups within molecules to yield isomeric forms.
Ligases
classification of enzymes that formation of c-c, c-s, c-o and c-n by condensation reaction of
coupled ATP cleavage.
Oxidases
transfer electrons/hydrogen directly to oxygen to form water.
Dehydrogenase
transfer hydrogen/electrons indirectly to oxygen to form water.
zero order reaction
type of reaction when the substrate concentration is greater (>) than the Km value.
first order reaction
type of reaction when the substrate concentration is less (<) than the Km value.
