Enzymes fall into classes based on function
•There are 6 major classes of enzymes:
•  
•  1.Oxidoreductases which are involved in oxidation, reduction, and electron or proton transfer reactions; •   2.Transferases, catalysing reactions in which groups are transferred; •   3.Hydrolases which cleave various covalent bonds by hydrolysis; 4 •  4.Lyases catalyse reactions forming or breaking double bonds;
•  5.Isomerases catalyse isomerisation reactions;
•   6.Ligases join substituents together covalently.
