- Selenide, water dikinase
In
enzymology , a selenide, water dikinase (EC number|2.7.9.3) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :ATP + selenide + H2O AMP + selenophosphate + phosphate
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP,
selenide , and H2O, whereas its 3 products are AMP,selenophosphate , andphosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferase s) with paired acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:selenide, water phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called selenophosphate synthase. This enzyme participates inselenoamino acid metabolism .References
