- 2,3-dimethylmalate lyase
In
enzymology , a 2,3-dimethylmalate lyase (EC number|4.1.3.32) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :(2R,3S)-2,3-dimethylmalate propanoate + pyruvate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
(2R,3S)-2,3-dimethylmalate , and two products,propanoate andpyruvate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
lyase s, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (2R,3S)-2,3-dimethylmalate pyruvate-lyase (propanoate-forming). Other names in common use include 2,3-dimethylmalate pyruvate-lyase, and (2R,3S)-2,3-dimethylmalate pyruvate-lyase. This enzyme participates inc5-branched dibasic acid metabolism .References
