Terms Related to Peptide Synthetases

• Acid Ammonia Ligases

  Enzymes that catalyze the joining of either ammonia or an amide with another molecule, in which the linkage is in the form of a carbon-nitrogen ...

• Carbon-Carbon Ligases

  Enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules by the formation of a carbon-carbon bond. These are the carboxylating enzymes and are mostly biotinyl-proteins. EC ...

• Succinyl CoA Synthetases

  Enzymes that catalyze the first step leading to the oxidation of succinic acid by the reversible formation of succinyl-CoA from succinate and CoA with the ...

• Amino Acyl-tRNA Synthetases

  A subclass of enzymes that acylate a specific RNA, TRANSFER with the corresponding amino acid. EC 6.1.1.

• Carbon-Sulfur Ligases

  Enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules by the formation of a carbon-sulfur bond. EC 6.2.

• Carbon-Oxygen Ligases

  Enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules by the formation of a carbon-oxygen bond. EC 6.1.

• Carbon-Nitrogen Ligases

  Enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules by the formation of a carbon-nitrogen bond. EC 6.3.
