Mnemonic: "Cats Sing Great Inspiring Chants Always"
Mnemonic Explanation:
Oxidoreductases/Dehydrogenases:
Enzymes which catalyse oxidoreduction between two substrates S and S’.
Example:
S reduced + S’ oxidised → S oxidised + S’ reduced.
Transferases:
Enzymes catalysing a transfer of a group, G (other than hydrogen), between a pair of substrates S and S’.
Example:
S - G + S’ → S + S’ - G.
Hydrolases:
Enzymes catalysing hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, C-halide, or P-N bonds.
Lyases:
Enzymes that catalyse the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis, leaving double bonds.
Isomerases:
Includes all enzymes catalysing inter-conversion of optical, geometric, or positional isomers.
Ligases:
Enzymes catalysing the linking together of two compounds.
Example:
Enzymes which catalyse joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, P-O, etc. bonds.
