Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enolase is a lyase enzyme that catalyzes the removal of water from 2-phosphoglycerate to produce phosphoenolpyruvate, an important step in glycolysis. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, triose phosphate isomerase, and phosphoglycerate mutase are all isomerase enzymes, not lyase enzymes.
