- 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate dehydratase
In
enzymology , a 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate dehydratase (EC number|4.2.1.43) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate 2,5-dioxopentanoate + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate , and two products,2,5-dioxopentanoate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of
lyase s, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate hydro-lyase (2,5-dioxopentanoate-forming). Other names in common use include 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate dehydratase, and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-arabinonate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates inascorbate and aldarate metabolism .References
