Study Notes
- Enzymes are classified into six major classes in the systematic naming system.
- The suffix -ase is attached to a description of the catalyzed chemical reaction.
- Oxidoreductases catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions.
- Transferases catalyze transfer of C-, N-, or P-containing groups.
- Hydrolases catalyze cleavage of bonds by addition of water.
- Lyases catalyze cleavage of C-C, C-S, and certain C-N bonds.
- Isomerases catalyze racemization of optical or geometric isomers.
- Ligases catalyze formation of bonds between carbon and N coupled to hydrolysis of high-energy phosphates.
- University of Baghdad's College of Medicine is teaching this in 2022-2023.
