- Aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase
In
enzymology , an aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase (EC number|3.1.1.29) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :N-Substituted aminoacyl-tRNA + H2O N-substituted amino acid + tRNA
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
N-Substituted aminoacyl-tRNA and H2O, whereas its two products areN-substituted amino acid andtRNA .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those acting on carboxylicester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aminoacyl-tRNA aminoacylhydrolase. Other names in common use include aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleate hydrolase, N-substituted aminoacyl transfer RNA hydrolase, and peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase.tructural studies
