Question

enzymes that carry out catalysis of a reaction by transfer of electrons are
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dehydrogenases

Explanation:

Enzymes are the biocatalyst. Most of the enzymes have been classified into different groups based on the type of reactions they catalyze. They are as follows-

(i) Oxidoreductases/dehydrogenases: The enzymes catalyzing oxidation and reduction between two substrates S and G involving gain or loss of electrons are known as dehydrogenases.

(ii) Transferases: The enzymes catalyzing  the transfer of a group, G (other than hydrogen) between a pair of substrate S and S are known as transferases.

(iii) Hydrolases: The enzymes catalyzing hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide or P-N bonds are known as hydrolases.

(iv) Lyases: The enzymes that catalyzes the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds are known as Lyases.

(v) Isomerases: The enzymes that catalyzes inter-conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers are known as isomerases.(vi) Ligases:The enzymes catalyzing, the linking together of two compounds are known as ligases.
