3.5.1.58 |
Accepted name: |
N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase |
Reaction: |
N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine + H2O = benzyl alcohol + CO2 + glycine |
Other name(s): |
benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase; Nα-carbobenzoxyamino acid amidohydrolase; Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase; Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase I |
Systematic name: |
N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine urethanehydrolase |
Comments: |
Also acts, more slowly, on N-benzyloxycarbonylalanine, but not on the corresponding derivatives of other amino acids or on N-benzyloxycarbonylpeptides. Requires Co2+ or Zn2+. cf. EC 3.5.1.64, Nα-benzyloxycarbonylleucine hydrolase. |
