Alpha-amino-acid esterase
- Alpha-amino-acid esterase
In enzymology, an alpha-amino-acid esterase (EC number|3.1.1.43) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:an alpha-amino acid ester + H2O an alpha-amino acid + an alcohol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are alpha-amino acid ester and H2O, whereas its two products are alpha-amino acid and alcohol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alpha-amino-acid-ester aminoacylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called alpha-amino acid ester hydrolase.
tructural studies
As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|1MPX, PDB link|1NX9, PDB link|1RYY, PDB link|2B4K, and PDB link|2B9V.
