Common Enzymes and Characteristics

catalyze hydrolytic cleavage rx

(nucleases and proteases are a type)

break down proteins by hydrolyzing bonds between amino acids

synthesize molecules in anabolic reactions by condensing two smaller molecues together

join together two molecules in an energy dependent way

-DNA ligase

catalyze the rearrangement of bonds within a single molecule

catalyze polymerization of reactions, ex DNA and RNA

catalyze additon of phosphate groups to molecules

attach phosphate groups to proteins

-catalaze hydrolytic removal of phosphate group from a molecule

enzymes that catalyze rx here one molecule is oxidized while the other is reduced (oxidases, reductases, hehydrogenases)

hydrolyze ATP, found on many proteins

-motor proteins (myosin)
-transport proteins (Na-K pump)

-hydrolyze GTP

PH, temp, substrate concentration, regulation

e key players in ensuring that enzymes fold properly and maintain their structural integrity (stabilize active sites, help revent misfolding)
