3.5.1.64

Accepted name:

N^α-benzyloxycarbonylleucine hydrolase

Reaction:

N^α-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine + H₂O = benzyl alcohol + CO₂ + L-leucine

Other name(s):

benzyloxycarbonylleucine hydrolase; N^α-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase IV; α-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine urethanehydrolase

Systematic name:

N^α-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine urethanehydrolase

Comments:

Also acts on N^α-t-butoxycarbonyl-L-leucine, and, more slowly, on the corresponding derivatives of L-aspartate, L-methionine, L-glutamate and L-alanine. cf. EC 3.5.1.58 N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase.
