- 3-deoxyoctulosonase
In
enzymology , a 3-deoxyoctulosonase (EC number|3.2.1.144) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :3-deoxyoctulosonyl-lipopolysaccharide + H2O 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid + lipopolysaccharide
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
3-deoxyoctulosonyl-lipopolysaccharide and H2O, whereas its two products are3-deoxyoctulosonic acid andlipopolysaccharide .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-deoxyoctulosonyl-lipopolysaccharide hydrolase. This enzyme is also called alpha-Kdo-ase.References
