Enzymes can be classified into six major groups according to the type of reaction they catalyze 1 Oxidoreductases catalyze oxidations and reductions 2 Transferases catalyze the transfer of a group of atoms 3 Hydrolases catalyze hydrolysis reactions 4 Lyases catalyze the addition of two groups to a double bond or the removal of two groups from adjacent atoms to create a double bond 5 Isomerases catalyze isomerization reactions 6 Ligases or synthetases catalyze the joining of two molecules On the basis of the classification given above decide to which group each of the following enzymes belongs Acetylcholinesterase b Creatine kinase H H CH3 0 C C N CH3 CH3 Acetylcholine H N CH3 O N NH O H O This is a an ATP Adenosine H C C OH Acetic acid ADP Adenosine CH3 H H HO C C N CH CH3 Choline CH3 O P NH2 O
