Hydrolase

Hydrolases are enzymes that esters, ethers, peptides, glycosides, acid anhydrides or hydrolytically cleave carbon-carbon bonds in a reversible reaction. Forming the third group of the EC classification of the enzyme. Its representatives include peptidases, nucleases, phosphatases, glycosidases, esterases.

The catalyzed equilibrium is

Classification

In the internationally recognized EC classification of enzymes hydrolases form the group 3 Then hydrolases are further subdivided depending on what type of bond is cleaved:

Examples

  • Amidases
  • Amylases
  • ATPases
  • ATP synthase
  • Carboxypeptidase
  • Chymotrypsin
  • Esterases
  • Glycosidases
  • Lactase
  • Peptidases
  • Trypsin
  • Urease
  • Lipases

Other enzyme classes

  • Oxidoreductases ( EC 1 -. -. - )
  • Transferases ( EC 2 -. -. - )
  • Lyases ( EC 4 -. -. - )
  • Isomerases ( EC 5 -. -. - )
  • Ligases ( EC 6 -. -. - )
