Which category of enzymes does transaminase belong to?

Show Answers

Enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis reactionsEnzymes involved in oxidation-reduction processesEnzymes that join two molecules togetherEnzymes that transfer functional groups between moleculesNone of the above

Explanation

Transaminases are classified as transferase enzymes because they catalyze the transfer of amino groups from one molecule to another, facilitating amino acid metabolism. This distinguishes them from hydrolases (which break bonds using water), oxidoreductases (which catalyze redox reactions), and ligases (which join molecules together using energy).
