molecular_function
|
A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
GO:0003824
|
catalytic activity
|
Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic. |
GO:0016787
|
hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. |
GO:0016788
|
hydrolase activity, acting on ester bonds
|
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond. |
GO:0160215
|
deacylase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: R-CO-X + H2O = R-COOH + HX, hydrolysis of an acyl group or groups from a substrate molecule. |
GO:0141126
|
short-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: a short-chain fatty acyl-CoA + H2O = a short fatty acid + CoA + H+. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail of less than 6 carbons. |
GO:0003860
|
3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl-CoA + H2O = CoA + 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate. |
GO:0047617
|
fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: a fatty acyl-CoA + H2O = a fatty acid + CoA + H+. |
GO:0016289
|
acyl-CoA hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: an acyl-CoA + H2O = a carboxylate + CoA + H+. |
GO:0016790
|
thiolester hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: RCO-SR' + H2O = RCOOH + HSR'. This reaction is the hydrolysis of a thiolester bond, an ester formed from a carboxylic acid and a thiol (i.e., RCO-SR'), such as that found in acetyl-coenzyme A. |
