- Trypanothione synthase
In
enzymology , a trypanothione synthase (EC number|6.3.1.9) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :glutathione + glutathionylspermidine + ATP N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine + ADP + phosphate
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
glutathione ,glutathionylspermidine , and ATP, whereas its 3 products areN1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine , ADP, andphosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
ligase s, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-ammonia (or amine) ligases (amide synthases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is glutathionylspermidine:glutathione ligase (ADP-forming).References
