What is the difference between synthase and syn-

thetase?

1 Answer

Answer :

Synthetases are ATP-dependent enzymes

catalysing biosynthetic reactions; they belong to

Ligases. Synthases are enzymes catalysing biosyn-

thetic reactions; but they do not require ATP di-

rectly; they belong to classes other than Ligases.
