A transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a specific functional group (such as a methyl or phosphate group) from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule. These enzymes are vital for metabolic pathways, including the synthesis and degradation of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Core Mechanism and Classification
