Question

Give various parts of an enzyme ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Enzymes are protein macromolecules. They have a defined amino acid sequence, and are typically 100-500 amino acids long. They have a defined three-dimensional structure.

Enzymes are catalysts. They act as a catalyst to a chemical or biochemical reaction, with a defined mechanism.

Answer 2

Answer:

Types of Enzymes:

Oxidoreductases: These enzymes bring about oxidation and reduction reactions and hence are called oxidoreductases. In these reactions, electrons in the form of hydride ions or hydrogen atoms are transferred.

Transferases: These enzymes are responsible for transferring functional groups from one molecule to another. Example: alanine aminotransferase which shuffles the alpha‐amino group between alanine and aspartate etc.

Hydrolases: These enzymes catalyze reactions that involve the process of hydrolysis.They break single bonds by adding water.

Lyases: These enzymes catalyze reactions where functional groups are added to break double bonds in molecules or where double bonds are formed by the removal of functional groups.

Ligases: These enzymes perform a function that is opposite to that of the hydrolases. Where hydrolases break bonds by adding water, ligases form bonds by removal of the water component.
