WHAT DOES SYNTHETASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ligase

In biochemistry, ligase is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond, usually with accompanying hydrolysis of a small chemical group dependent to one of the larger molecules or the enzyme catalyzing the linking together of two compounds, e.g., enzymes that catalyze joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, etc. In general, a ligase catalyzes the following reaction: Ab + C → A–C + b or sometimes Ab + cD → A–D + b + c where the lowercase letters signify the small, dependent groups. Ligase can join two complementary fragments of nucleic acid and repair single stranded breaks that arise in double stranded DNA during replication.

Definition of synthetase in the English dictionary

The definition of synthetase in the dictionary is an enzyme that can catalyse the union of two large molecules; also known as ligase.
