Group: enzyme catalyses reaction involving any molecules with the same functional group e.g. Phosphotransferase. 3. Linkage: enzyme catalyses the formation or break up of only ceain category or type of bond e.g. Peptidase. 4. Stereochemical: enzyme recognizes only one of two enantiomers e.g. L-amino acid oxidase.
