Study Notes
Enzyme Classification
- Enzymes are classified into simple proteins and conjugated proteins based on their composition.
Conjugated Proteins (Holoenzymes)
- A conjugated protein (holoenzyme) consists of two parts: the apoenzyme (protein part) and the cofactor (non-protein part).
Cofactors
- The cofactor is firmly attached to the apoenzyme in the conjugated protein.
Enzyme Classes
- Enzymes are composed of six classes based on the type of reaction they catalyze and the substrate they act upon.
- These classes include oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and ligases.
Enzyme Nomenclature
- Enzyme classes are identified by the suffix "-ase" at the end of their names.
