N-isopropylammelide isopropylaminohydrolase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a N-isopropylammelide isopropylaminohydrolase (EC 3.5.99.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-isopropylammelide + H2O
cyanuric acid + isopropylamine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-isopropylammelide and H2O, whereas its two products are cyanuric acid and isopropylamine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in compounds that have not been otherwise categorized within EC number 3.5. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-isopropylammelide isopropylaminohydrolase. This enzyme is also called AtzC. This enzyme participates in atrazine degradation.
