Enzymes are biological catalysts classified based on the type of reaction they facilitate. The six main classes are oxidoreductases, which handle oxidation-reduction reactions; transferases, responsible for transferring functional groups between molecules; hydrolases, which catalyze the breaking of bonds using water; lyases, involved in adding or removing groups to form double bonds; isomerases, which rearrange molecular structures within a single molecule; and ligases, which join two molecules together using energy from ATP.
