Lyases

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The enzymes that catalyze the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis (leaving double bonds) are known as $Lyases$. Unlike hydrolases,$Lyases$ do not involve the addition of water molecules to break down large molecules into smaller units. $Dehydrogenases$ are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions. $Oxidases$ catalyze oxidation reactions. $Hexokinases$ are transferases that catalyze the phosphorylation of hexose sugars.

These enzymes catalyze the breakdown of large molecules into smaller units without the addition of water molecules.
