20.2 Classification of Enzymes Enzyme names describe the compound or the reaction that is catalyzed. The ribbon structure for alanine transaminase, an aminotransferase, contains 495 amino acid residues. Learning Goal Classify enzymes and give their names. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Names of Enzymes The name of an enzyme • usually ends in ase. • identifies the reacting substance; for example, sucrase catalyzes the reaction of sucrose. • describes the function of the enzyme; for example, oxidases catalyze oxidation. • can be a common name, particularly for the digestive enzymes, such as pepsin and trypsin. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Enzyme Class, Oxidoreductases The Enzyme Commission of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology systematically classifies enzymes according to the six general types of reactions they catalyze (Table 20.2).

Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Chemistry Link to Health: Isoenzymes As Diagnostic Tools Isoenzymes • are different forms of an enzyme that catalyze the same reaction in different cells or tissues of the body. • have quaternary structures with slight variations in the amino acids in the polypeptide subunits. There are five isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) that catalyze the conversion between lactate and pyruvate. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Chemistry Link to Health: Isoenzymes As Diagnostic Tools Myocardial infarction may be indicated by an increase in the levels of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The different forms of an enzyme allow a medical diagnosis of damage or disease to a particular organ or tissue. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C.
