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.
