हिन्दीAn enzyme catalyses the removal of specific groups from its substrate by a mechanism other than hydrolysis, resulting in the formation of a double bond: \[ \begin{matrix} \text{X} & \text{Y} \\ | & | \\ \text{C} & - & \text{C} \end{matrix} \longrightarrow \text{X}-\text{Y} + \text{C}=\text{C} \] To which of the following enzyme classes does this enzyme belong?
Correct answer · Option 4
Lyases
