👉 In biological sciences and medicine, a coreductase is a type of enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of a protein. These enzymes are essential for many cellular processes such as protein synthesis, cell division, and organelle formation.
Coreductases can be classified into three main categories based on their activity:
1.
Protein Kinase
: These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP to release energy, which is then used to activate a specific protein. Examples include insulin
