The enzymes which catalyse the same reaction but have different amino acid composition are commonly referred as:

- AIsoenzymes
- BIsotopes
- CIsomers
- DCoenzymes
Explanation
Isoenzymes (isozymes) are different forms of an enzyme that catalyse the same chemical reaction but differ in amino-acid sequence — for example, the variants of lactate dehydrogenase. Isotopes, isomers and coenzymes are entirely different concepts in chemistry. A classic example is lactate dehydrogenase, which exists in five isoenzyme forms in human tissues.
