Enzymes can be classified by the kind of chemical reaction catalyzed.
1.)Addition or removal of water
A. Hydrolases - these include esterases, carbohydrases, nucleases, deaminases, amidases, and proteases
B. Hydrases such as fumarase, enolase, aconitase and
carbonic anhydrase
2.)Transfer of electrons
A. Oxidases
B. Dehydrogenases
3.) Transfer of a radical
A. Transglycosidases - of monosaccharides
B. Transphosphorylases and phosphomutases - of a phosphate group
C. Transaminases - of amino group
D. Transmethylases - of a methyl group
E. Transacetylases - of an acetyl group
4.)Splitting or forming a C-C bond
A. Desmolases
5.)Changing geometry or structure of a molecule
A. Isomerases
6.)Joining two molecules through hydrolysis of pyrophosphate bond in ATP or other tri-phosphate
A. Ligases
