Question:
Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyzes the following reaction:
\[
S - G + S^{\prime} \rightarrow S + S^{\prime} - G
\]
Where \( G \) represents a group other than hydrogen, \( S \) is a substrate, and \( S^{\prime} \) is another substrate.
Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyzes the following reaction:

\]
Where \( G \) represents a group other than hydrogen, \( S \) is a substrate, and \( S^{\prime} \) is another substrate.
Show Hint
Lyases are enzymes that catalyze the addition or removal of groups to or from substrates without using water. Understanding the different types of enzymes helps to classify reactions correctly.

- Transferase
- Ligase
- Hydrolase
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The reaction described in the question involves the breaking or forming of bonds between substrates, often catalyzed by lyases. Lyases are enzymes that catalyze the addition or removal of groups to/from substrates, without using water (which would be the case in hydrolases).
Thus, the correct enzyme class for this reaction is Lyase.
