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:0016787 hydrolase activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3.
GO:0016810 hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any carbon-nitrogen bond, C-N, with the exception of peptide bonds.
GO:0016811 hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any non-peptide carbon-nitrogen bond in a linear amide.
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:0004040 amidase activity Catalysis of the reaction: a monocarboxylic acid amide + H2O = a monocarboxylate + NH3.
