What are different classes of enzymes? Explain any two with the type of reaction they catalyse.
Following are the different classes of enzymes:
1. Oxidoreductase
2. Transferase
3. Hydrolase
4. Lysases
5. Isomerase
6. ligases
a) Oxidoreductase:
These are the enzymes which help in simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two substrates.
b) Hydrolases:
These enzymes facilitate the hydrolysis of a molecule.
