Identifier Name Description
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:0008168 methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule.
GO:0016740 transferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2.
GO:0008757 S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a substrate.
GO:0003674 molecular_function Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions.
GO:0016741 transferase activity, transferring one-carbon groups Catalysis of the transfer of a one-carbon group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
GO:0003886 DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA containing cytosine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA containing 5-methylcytosine.
GO:0009008 DNA-methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to a DNA molecule.
