Alkyltransferase and Aryltransferase Definition

Alkyltransferases and Aryltransferases are classes of enzymes that transfer an alkyl or aryl chemical group from one compound (the donor) to another compound (the acceptor). Alkyls are radicals derived from an aliphatic hydrocarbon by removal of a hydrogen atom. Aryl are radicals derived from an aromatic compound by removal of a hydrogen atom.
