Question

According to IUBMB,in how may classes all enzymes have been classified?

Answer 1

Answer:

According to IUBMB, enzymes are classified into 6 classes.

Explanation:

According to IUBMB, enzymes are classified into 6 classes. They are:

1. Oxidoreductases : These are the enzymes that catalyse a oxidation - reduction reaction.

2. Transferases : These are the enzymes which help in the transfer of molecules in a group.

3. Hydrolases : These are the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolytic reactions.

4. Lyases : These are the enzymes that help in dissociation of molecules.

5. Isomerases : These are the enzymes that catalyse the structural or geometric changes of molecules.

6. Ligases: These are the enzymes that catalyse the combining of molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

The “International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”, shortly called IUBMB has classified all classes of enzymes into six classifications. The basis for this classification is the functioning ability of the enzymes.  

The six class of enzyme according to IUBMB are as follows:

• Oxidoreductase - It is involved in ‘electron’ transfer between the reluctant and oxidants.
• Transferase - It is involved in transfer of functional group.
• Hydrolases - It breaks bond with the help of water.
• Lyases - It breaks bond without use of water.
• Isomerase - It is involved in conversion of molecules.

• Ligases - It is used to attach two molecules together.
