GO term | GO name | GO namespace | GO def |
GO:0016835 | carbon-oxygen lyase activity | molecular_function | Catalysis of the breakage of a carbon-oxygen bond. [EC:4.2.-.-] |
GO:0006635 | fatty acid beta-oxidation | biological_process | A fatty acid oxidation process that results in the complete oxidation of a long-chain fatty acid. Fatty acid beta-oxidation begins with the addition of coenzyme A to a fatty acid, and occurs by successive cycles of reactions during each of which the fatty acid is shortened by a two-carbon fragment removed as acetyl coenzyme A; the cycle continues until only two or three carbons remain (as acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA respectively).

GO:0005739 | mitochondrion | cellular_component | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. [GOC:giardia, ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0003824 | catalytic activity | molecular_function | 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:0016836 | hydro-lyase activity | molecular_function | Catalysis of the cleavage of a carbon-oxygen bond by elimination of water. [EC:4.2.1.-] |
GO:0016829 | lyase activity | molecular_function | Catalysis of the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. They differ from other enzymes in that two substrates are involved in one reaction direction, but only one in the other direction. When acting on the single substrate, a molecule is eliminated and this generates either a new double bond or a new ring. [ISBN:0198547684] |
