Hydrolase

In biochemistry, hydrolases constitute a class of enzymes that commonly function as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond: A−B+H2O→hydrolaseA−OH+B−H{\displaystyle {\ce {A-B + H2O}}\quad {\xrightarrow[{\text{ }}]{hydrolase}}\quad {\ce {A-OH + B-H}}}This typically results in dividing a larger molecule into smaller molecules.
