Summary
General reaction mechanism of catalysed by a catalytic triad (black): <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nucleophilic_substitution&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Nucleophilic substitution (page does not exist)">nucleophilic substitution</a> at a <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carbonyl&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Carbonyl (page does not exist)">carbonyl</a> substrate (red) by a second substrate (blue). First, the enzyme's nucleophile (X) attacks the carbonyl to form a covalently linked acyl-enzyme intermediate. This intermediate is then attacked by the second nucleophile (X') of the second substrate. If the second nucleophile is the hydroxyl of water, the result is <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hydrolysis&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hydrolysis (page does not exist)">hydrolysis</a>, otherwise the result is <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transferase&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Transferase (page does not exist)">group transfer</a> of X'.
