Formate C-Acetyltransferase (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In enzymology, a formate C-acetyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: Acetyl-CoA + formate \rightleftharpoons CoA + pyruvate. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and formate, whereas its two products are CoA and pyruvate. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA: formate C-acetyltransferase
