Question

Enoyl CoA hydratase, from beta oxidation, is classified as a(n): oxidoreductase transferase lyase ligase

Answer 1

Enoyl CoA hydratase (ECH) is an enzyme involved in fatty acid metabolism in beta-oxidation. It catalyzes the hydrogenation reaction in which ATP is involved. It is used to add a hydroxyl group. Enoyl CoA hydratase (ECH) in beta-oxidation is classified as ligase

Ligase includes enzymes that join two molecules by forming a new chemical bond using energy from ATP.

So the correct option is Ligase

Other options are incorrect because

- Oxidoreductases include all enzymes involved in oxidation and reduction reactions. They are also called dehydrogenase.

- Transferases include enzymes that transfer a functional group from one molecule to another. Hydrogen transfer does not occur in transferase

- Lyases include enzymes that do not perform hydrolysis and oxidation. They breakdown molecules by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation.
