Solution
The enzymes are classified into 6 different classes based on the types of reactions they catalyse:
Oxidoreductase/ dehydrogenase: Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates.
Transferases: Enzymes catalysing a transfer of a group between a pair of substrates.
Hydrolases: Enzymes catalysing hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide and halides.
Lyases: Enzymes that catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis leaving double bonds.
Isomerases: Include all enzymes catalysing inter conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers.
Ligases: Enzymes catalysing the linking together of 2 compounds.
