- N-benzylformamide + H2O
formate + benzylamine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-benzylformamide and H2O, whereas its two products are formate and benzylamine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-benzylformamide amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called NfdA.
