Answer
Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule. Common transferase examples include:
  • Acyltransferase
  • Peptidyl transferase
  • Methyltransferase
  • Glycosyltransferase
  • Formyltransferase
  • Oximinotransferase
  • Sulfotransferase
  • Transketolase
  • Pentosyltransferase
  • Hexosyltransferase
  • Phosphotransferase
  • Selenotransferase
  • Transaminase
  • Tungstentransferase
  • Polymerase
  • Molybdenumtransferase
