Poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) depolymerase
- Poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) depolymerase
In enzymology, a poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) depolymerase (EC number|3.1.1.76) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction that breaks down the polyester poly{oxycarbonyl [(R)-2-pentylethylene] } into smaller oligomers.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is poly{oxycarbonyl [(R)-2-pentylethylene] } hydrolase. Other names in common use include PHO depolymerase, poly(3HO) depolymerase, poly [(R)-hydroxyalkanoic acid] depolymerase, poly(HA) depolymerase, poly(HAMCL) depolymerase, and poly [(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate] hydrolase.
