( Nucleotidyl transferase)
In biochemistry, a transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group (e.g. a methyl or phosphate group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor). For example, an enzyme that catalyzed this reaction would be a transferase In this example, A would be the donor, and B would be the acceptor. The donor is often a coenzyme. Proper names of transferases are formed as "donoracceptor grouptransferase." However, other names are much more common. The common names of transferases are often formed as "acceptor grouptransferase" or "donor grouptransferase." For example, a DNA methyltransferase is a transferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group to a DNA acceptor. Transferases are classified as EC 2 in the EC number classification. Transferases can be further classified into nine subclasses
