What are Transferase enzymes? | MCAT Biochemistry

Описание: In this video, we will be exploring the role of transferase enzymes in biology. Transferase enzymes are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group, such as a phosphate group or a methyl group, from one molecule to another.

We will delve into the different subclasses of transferase enzymes, including kinases, aminotransferase, Coenzyme A transferase (aka CoA transferase),, and nucleotidyltransferases, and discuss their specific functions in the body. You will learn about the importance of transferase enzymes in various biological processes, such as metabolism, signaling, and gene regulation.

We will also cover the role of transferase enzymes in the synthesis of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of the vital role that transferase enzymes play in the body.

This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
