Your digestive system uses a variety of enzymes to break down large food molecules into smaller ones that your cells can assimilate. A generic name for a digestive enzyme is hydrolase. What is the chemical basis for that name

The enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction is a hydrolase:

                         A–B + H2O → A–OH + B–H

  • A–B is a chemical bond of unspecified molecules.

Explanation:

  • Hydrolase is a compound that regularly proceeds as biochemical impetuses that utilize water to break a chemical bond, that is breaking a larger molecule into smaller once. Some basic instances of hydrolase proteins are esterases including peptidases and nucleosidases. Nucleosidases hydrolyze the bonds of nucleotides.
  • Hydrolase proteins are significant for the body since they have degradative properties.
  • Names of hydrolases are shaped as "substrate hydrolase." However, regular names are ordinarily in the "substrates". For instance, a Lipase is a hydrolase that breaks down fats and lipoproteins.
