- Lysine racemase
In
enzymology , a lysine racemase (EC number|5.1.1.5) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-lysine ightleftharpoons D-lysine
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
L-lysine , and one product,D-lysine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically thoseracemase s andepimerase s acting onamino acid s and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is lysine racemase. This enzyme participates inlysine degradation .References
