D(-)-Tartrate Dehydratase (Paperback)

PMPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In enzymology, a D(-)-tartrate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.81) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction (S,S)-tartrate \rightleftharpoons oxaloacetate + H2O. Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (S,S)-tartrate, and two products, oxaloacetate and H2O. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S,S)-tartrate hydro-lyase (oxaloacetate-forming). Other names in common use include D-tartrate dehydratase, and (S,S)-tartrate hydro-lyase. It has 2 cofactors: iron, and Manganes
