Transferases
Transferases are a group of enzymes which catalyse the transfer of, i.e. remove a functional group from one molecule to another e.g methyl, phosphate, amino groups [1].
This type of reaction that occurs is called a group transfer reaction and an example of this is nucleotide monophosphate kinase, also abbreviated to NMP kinase. [2]
