#1
Front (Question)
Major classes of enzymes
Back (Answer)
• Polymerase • Proteases • Kinases • ATPases • Synthases • Phosphatase
#2
Front (Question)
Polymerase
Back (Answer)
catalyze polymerization reactions such as the synthesis of DNA and RNA
#3
Front (Question)
Proteases
Back (Answer)
break down proteins by hydrolyzing bonds between amino acids
#4
Front (Question)
Kinases
Back (Answer)
Catalyze the addition of phosphate groups to molecules (protein kinases are very common in physiology)
#5
Front (Question)
ATPases
Back (Answer)
Hydrolyze ATP (Na, K-ATPase)
#6
Front (Question)
Synthases
Back (Answer)
synthesize molecules in anabolic reactions by condensing two smaller molecules together without using ATP
#7
Front (Question)
Phosphatase
Back (Answer)
catalyze the hydrolytic removal of a phosphate group from a molecule
