Enzyme Classification and Functions

The classification of enzymes is provided by the Enzyme Commission and divides enzymes into 6 main classes according to their function: 1) oxidoreductases, 2) transferases, 3) hydrolases, 4) lyases, 5) isomerases, and 6) ligases. Each enzyme receives an EC code that identifies the type of reaction catalyzed and the target substrate.
