Enzymes and their classes

Enzymes :  These are the bio-catalyst synthesized by living cell they are protein in nature, colloidal & thermolabile in character also specified in their actions. There are 6 classes of enzymes   1. Oxido-reductase :     Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of electron from one molecule to another molecule.     We simply say that these enzyme catalyze oxidation-reduction reaction. Here are 2 sub-classes of Oxido-reductase           a. oxidase :               These enzymes catalyze the formation of  hydrogen peroxide by oxidation of CO & CN bonds                  in expense of molecular oxygen          b. Dehydrogenase :                Enzymes that catalyze the removal of hydrogen from one substrate and pass it to another  ...
