Detailed explanation-1: -A transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).
Detailed explanation-2: -Transferases catalyze the transfer of functional groups such as methyl, hydroxymethyl, formal, glycosyl, acyl, alkyl, phosphate, and sulfate groups by means of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -In biochemistry, a transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group (e.g. a methyl or phosphate group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor). For example, an enzyme that catalyzed this reaction would be a transferase: A–X + B → A + B–X.
