Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.46AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The class of enzyme to which urease belongs should be given.
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
- Transferases
- Hydrolases
- Isomerases
- Lyases
- Ligases
