(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The class of enzymes which would expect to catalyse the given reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Enzyme:

  • It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
  • Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
  • Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
  • Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.

Classification of enzymes:

  • Oxidoreductases: Used to catalyse oxidation-reduction reactions.
  • Transferases: Used to catalyse transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.
  • Hydrolases: Used to break a large molecule into smaller ones using water.
  • Isomerases: Used to catalyse isomerization reactions.
  • Lyases: Used to catalyse addition or removal of a small molecule.
  • Ligases: Used to catalyse the bonding of two substrate molecules.
