1.Oxidoreductases:
These are the enzymes which catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions. Common examples are oxidase, dehydrogenase and peroxydase.
2.Transferases:
These enzymes bring about an exchange of functional group such as phosphate or acyl between two compounds, for example; phospho-transferases, etc.
3.Hydrolases:
These are the enzymes which catalyzehydrolysis. They include proteases called protelytic enzymes.
4.Lyases:
These are those enzymes which break and form double bonds. They catalyze the addition of ammonia, wateror carbon dioxide to double bonds orremoval of these to formdouble bonds, for example phospho-glyceromutases.
5.Isomerases:
These enzymes catalyze the transfer of groups within molecules to yield isomeric forms of the substrate. An example is the conversion of fumaric acid to maleic acid in the presence of fumarase enzyme.
6.Ligases:
These enzymes are those enzymes which link two molecules together by breaking the high-energy bonds, for example; acetyl—S—COH, a carboxylase and succinic thiokinase.
