Better example needed

[edit]

It may be obvious to a biochemist that converting ATP to cyclic ADP is a lyase reaction, but it's not obvious to the ordinary reader. And someone who knows the structure of ATP and ADP probably already knows what 'lyase' means, so they don't need this example. A better example for the ordinary reader would show a structure, not just the names of the input and output, maybe like this: http://www.differencebetween.net/science/differences-between-glucose-and-sucrose/ (I don't know whether that counts as a lyase reaction, but the point is that the actual structure is shown.)
