Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that enzymes are often named based on the type of reaction they catalyze.
Recognize that the transfer of a phosphate group is a type of reaction known as phosphorylation.
Identify that enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation reactions are typically called kinases.
Review the list of enzyme names provided: Tyrosine Kinase, Cysteine Isomerase, Cellulase, and Glutamate deaminase.
Determine that 'Tyrosine Kinase' is the enzyme name that indicates it catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group, as 'kinase' refers to enzymes that perform phosphorylation.
