NEET (UG) 2025 — Question 109

Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction : $\text{S} - \text{G} + \text{S}^\# \to \text{S} + \text{S}^\# - \text{G}$ Where, $\text{G} \to \text{a group other than hydrogen}$ $\quad \quad \text{S} \to \text{a substrate}$ $\quad \quad \text{S}^\# \to \text{another substrate}$

Option A:
Hydrolase
Option B:
Lyase
Option C:
Transferase
Correct
Option D:
Ligase

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

The reaction S→G₁→G₂→S→G shows transfer of functional groups between molecules. Transferases are enzymes

that catalyze the transfer of functional groups from donor to acceptor molecules.
