[lē′āsez]

Etymology: Gk, lyein, to loosen; Fr, disastase, enzyme

a group of enzymes that reversibly split carbon bonds with carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen without hydrolysis or oxygen reduction reactions. The activity results in two subunits in which one or both may contain a double-bonded carbon. An example of a lyase is deaminase.
