Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0003674	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:0016853	isomerase activity	Catalysis of the geometric or structural changes within one molecule. Isomerase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 5.
GO:0016857	racemase and epimerase activity, acting on carbohydrates and derivatives	Catalysis of a reaction that alters the configuration of one or more chiral centers in a carbohydrate molecule.
GO:0016854	racemase and epimerase activity	Catalysis of a reaction that alters the configuration of one or more chiral centers in a molecule.
