- Arabinonate dehydratase
In
enzymology , an arabinonate dehydratase (EC number|4.2.1.5) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :D-arabinonate 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabinonate + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
D-arabinonate , and two products,2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabinonate 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 D-arabinonate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabinonate-forming). This enzyme is also called D-arabinonate hydro-lyase.References
