Enzymes

• Enzymes are the biological polymers that catalyze biochemical reactions
• There are six classifications of enzymes: Oxidoreductases, Transferases, Hydrolases, Lyases, Isomerases, and Ligases
• Oxidoreductases catalyzes the oxidation reaction where electrons tend to travel from one form of a molecule to the other
• Transferases are enzymes that help in the transportation of the functional group among acceptors and donors molecules.
• Hydrolases are hydrolytic enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis reaction by adding water to clear the bond and hydrolyze it
• Lyases adds water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia across double bonds or eliminate these to create double bonds.
• Isomerases are enzymes that catalyze the structural shifts present in a molecule, thus causing the change in the shape of the molecule
• Ligases are known to change the catalysis of a ligation process. It is present in DNA cloning. It joins two molecules
