Explanation

This class of enzymes, are involved in the catalysis of chemical reactions, in which the chemical bonds are broken off through the addition, of a molecule of water. More properly, it can be understood as the addition of hydrogen [H] to a fragment of the molecule, while a hydroxide [OH] ion is fixed to the other molecule fragment. This important class of enzymes includes the familiar proteolytic protein digesting enzymes, the lipolytic fat digesting enzymes and the amylolytic carbohydrate digesting enzymes.
