Deoxylimonate A-ring-lactonase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a deoxylimonate A-ring-lactonase (EC 3.1.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- deoxylimonate + H2O
deoxylimononic acid D-ring-lactone
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are deoxylimonate and H2O, whereas its product is deoxylimononic acid D-ring-lactone.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is deoxylimonate A-ring-lactonohydrolase.
