| Accepted name: |
orsellinate-depside hydrolase |
| Reaction: |
orsellinate depside + H2O = 2 orsellinate |
| Glossary: |
orsellinate = 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate |
| Other name(s): |
lecanorate hydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
orsellinate-depside hydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme will only hydrolyse those substrates based on the 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate structure that also have a free hydroxy group ortho to the depside linkage. |
