- Fluorothreonine transaldolase
In
enzymology , a fluorothreonine transaldolase (EC number|2.2.1.8) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-threonine + fluoroacetaldehyde ightleftharpoons acetaldehyde + 4-fluoro-L-threonine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
L-threonine andfluoroacetaldehyde , whereas its two products areacetaldehyde and4-fluoro-L-threonine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferringaldehyde or ketonic groups (transaldolases and transketolases, respectively). The systematic name of this enzyme class is fluoroacetaldehyde:L-threonine aldehydetransferase.References
