Enzymes: Classification, Kinetics and Inhibition · Zoology

Enzymes that transfer functional groups between molecules are called:

  1. Ligases (bond formation)
  2. Isomerases
  3. Transferases
  4. Hydrolases
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Transferases

Transferases move functional groups — such as methyl, amino, or phosphate groups — from one molecule to another. They are essential in metabolic pathways including amino acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism.
