Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The class of enzyme to which phosphoglyceromutase belongs needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
Isomeric forms of a molecule (with the same chemical formula but variation in atomic arrangements) are yielded by catalysis of many types of intramolecular rearrangements by Isomerases. Some examples of this class are epimerases, mutases, and racemases.
(b)
Interpretation:
The class of enzyme to which urease belongs needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
Hydrolase enzymes catalyze the reactions wherein the addition of water results in the cleavage of the bond. Based on the type of bond cleaved, the examples are peptidases (peptide bond), phosphatases (phosphate bond), and phosphodiesterase (phosphodiester bond).
(c)
Interpretation:
The class of enzyme to which succinate dehydrogenase belongs needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction : Oxidoreductases are the group of enzymes that carry out both
(d)
Interpretation:
The class of enzyme to which aspartase belongs needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The breaking of the bonds between C-C, C-N, C-S, and C-O is catalyzed by lyases by the elimination process. Examples- Aldolase, Dehydratase, Decarboxylase, and Synthetase.
