NOMENCLATURE &CLASSIFICATION
OF ENZYMES
UG-05
Semester-3rd
• Biological catalysts which speed up the rate of reaction
without becoming part of the reaction but themselves cannot
initiate any chemical reaction.
• Enzymes :
• First name is of substrate
• second, ending in “ASE” indicating type of reaction catalyzed.
• Clarify the reaction , e.g. Malic Enzyme
• L- Malate + NAD  Pyruvate + NADH-H + CO2
• Malate NAD oxidoreductase (Decarboxylating)
ENZYMES
Trival name
• Gives no idea of source, function or reaction
catalyzed by the enzyme.
• Example: trypsin, thrombin, pepsin.
Systematic Name
• According to the International union Of
Biochemistry an enzyme name has two parts:
-First part is the name of the substrates for
the enzyme.
-Second part is the type of reaction catalyzed
by the enzyme.This part ends with the suffix
“ase”.
Example: Lactate dehydrogenase
EC number
• Enzymes are classified into six different groups
according to the reaction being catalyzed.
• The nomenclature was determined by the Enzyme
Commission in 1961 (with the latest update having
occurred in 1992), hence all enzymes are assigned an
“EC” number.
• The classification does not take into account amino
acid sequence (ie, homology), protein structure, or
chemical mechanism.
EC numbers
• EC numbers are four digits, for example a.b.c.d, where
“a” is the class, “b” is the subclass, “c” is the sub-
subclass, and “d” is the sub-sub-subclass. The “b” and
“c” digits describe the reaction, while the “d” digit is
used to distinguish between different enzymes of the
same function based on the actual substrate in the
reaction.
• Example: for Alcohol:NAD+oxidoreductase EC
number is 1.1.1.1
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Formulated by the enzyme commission of I.U.B six major
classes based on the type of reactions catalyzed
1. Oxidoreductases
• Catalyzing oxidation reduction reactions
2. Transferases
• Catalyzing group transfer
3. Hydrolases
• Catalyzing hydrolytic breakdown
Classification of Enzymes
4. Lyases
• Catalysing removal of groups by mechanism other than
hydrolysis and leaving behind double bonds
5. Isomerases
• Catalysing interconversion of isomers
6. Ligases
• Catalysing formation of bonds and new compounds
1. Oxidoreductases
– Catalysing oxidation reduction reaction where one
substrate is oxidized and other is reduced
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Oxidases. Catalyzing oxidation of the substrate and
atomic oxygen acts as recipient of hydrogen e.g.
Ascorbic acid oxidase, Cytochrome oxidase, Tyrosinase
Ascorbic acid
Oxidase
Ascorbic acid + O2 Dehydro ascorbic acid
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Aerobic Dehydrogenases.
Catalyzing oxidation of the substrate and molecular
oxygen acts as recipients of hydrogen e.g. Glucose
oxidase, L amino acid dehydrogenase, Xanthene
dehydrogenase
glucose oxidase
Glucose Gluconolactone
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Anaerobic Dehydrogenases. Catalyzing oxidation of
the substrate and coenzymes act as recipients of hydrogen
e.g. Lactate Dehydrogenase with NAD and Glucose 6
phosphate dehydrogenase with NADP
Lactate
dehydrogenase
Lactic acid Pyruvic acid
+ NAD + NADH – H+
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Oxygenases:
Is an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring
the oxygen from molecular oxygen O2 (as in air) to it.
Types :
a. Monooxygenases:
Transfer one oxygen atom to the substrate, and reduce the
other oxygen atom to water.
b. Dioxygenases:
Incorporate both atoms of molecular oxygen (O2) into the
product(s) of the reaction.
Among the most important monooxygenases are
the cytochrome P450 oxidases, responsible for breaking
down numerous chemicals in the body.
2.TRANSFERASES
Transaminases. Catalyzing transfer of amino group between
an amino acid and a ketoacid e.g. Aspartate transaminase (AST),
Alanine transaminase (ALT)
Aspartate
transaminase (AST)
Glutamic acid +  ketoglutaric acid +
Oxalo acetic acid Aspartic acid
Alanine
transaminase (ALT)
Glutamic acid +  ketoglutaric acid +
Pyruvic acid Alanine
2.TRANSFERASES
Transmethylases. Catalyzing transfer of methyl group
between to substrates e.g. COMT
Catechol-O-
methyltransferase (COMT)
Noradrenalin Adrenaline
+ CH3
Transpeptidases. Catalyzing transfer of amino acids to
substrates e.g. Benzyl-SCoA transpeptidase
Benzyl-SCoA
transpeptidase
Benzyl - SCoA Hippuric acid
+ Glycine
2. TRANSFERASES
Phosphotransferases. Catalyzing transfer of phosphate
group to substrates e.g. Hexokinase, glucokinase
2.7.1.1 ATP D hexose 6 phosphotransferase [Hexokinase]
ATP + Glucose Hexokinase ADP + D-Glucose –6-P
Acetyltransferase. Catalyzing transfer of acetyl group to
substrates e.g. choline acetyltransferase
Acetyl-CoA+ Choline  CoA + Acetyl- Choline
3. HYDROLASES
Catalysing hydrolytic breakdown of different bonds. Most of the GIT
enzymes belong to this class
Enzymes hydrolyzing carbohydrates
1. Polysaccharidases
Starch Amylase Maltose, maltotrios, dextrins
2. Oligosaccharidases
Dextrins Dextrinase glucose
3. Disacharidases
Maltose, Lactose, Sucrose Disacharidases Maltase, Lactase, Sucrase monosaccharides
Enzymes Hydrolyzing Lipids
Triacyl glycerol lipase monoacyl glycerol + 2 F.F.A
Cholesterol ester cholesterol free cholesterol + FFA
esterase
3. HYDROLASES

Lecithin Lysolecithin
Enzymes Acting on Peptide Bonds:
exopeptidases carboxypeptidase amino acids
endopeptidase aminopeptidases e. g pepsin (smaller peptides)
3. HYDROLASES
Tripeptidase : Tripeptide  A.A
Dipeptidase : Dipeptide  A.A

double bonds.

6. LIGASES
• Catalyze reactions in which linking together of two
molecules occur coupled with the breakdown of a high
energy phosphate bonds like ATP, GTP

EC
• Every enzyme code consists of the letters "EC" followed by four
numbers separated by periods. Those numbers represent a
progressively finer classification of the enzyme.
• For example, the tripeptide aminopeptidases have the code "EC
3.4.11.4", whose components indicate the following groups of
enzymes:
• EC 3 enzymes are hydrolases (enzymes that use water to break up
some other molecule)
• EC 3.4 are hydrolases that act on peptide bonds
• EC 3.4.11 are those hydrolases that cleave off the amino-
terminal amino acid from a polypeptide
• EC 3.4.11.4 are those that cleave off the amino-terminal end from
a tripeptide
