1
New cards

Oxireductases

redox reactions (electron/H transfer). Tell-tale: a partner like NAD⁺/NADH or FAD. Examples: lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase.

2
New cards

Transferases

move a functional group from one molecule to another. Kinases (transfer a phosphate) live here. Example: hexokinase

3
New cards

Hydrolases

cleave a bond using water. Example: proteases, lipases, and lactase.

4
New cards

Lyases

add or remove a group to form/break a double bond without water or redox. Example: decarboxylases, and carbonic anhydrase is often placed here.

5
New cards

Isomerases

rearrange atoms within one molecule. Example: mutases, topoisomerase.

6
New cards

Ligases

join two molecules together, driven by ATP. Example: DNA ligase, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
