Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyzes the following reaction: \[ S - G + S^{\prime} \rightarrow S + S^{\prime} - G \] Where \( G \) represents a group other than hydrogen, \( S \) is a substrate, and \( S^{\prime} \) is another substrate.

Question

The protein portion of an enzyme is called:

Answer 1

The reaction in question entails bond formation or cleavage in substrates, typically mediated by lyases. Lyases are enzymes that catalyze the addition or elimination of functional groups from substrates, distinct from hydrolases which utilize water. Therefore, the appropriate enzyme class for this reaction is Lyase.
