Inenzymology, aformamidase (EC3.5.1.49) is anenzyme thatcatalyzes thechemical reaction
Thus, the twosubstrates of this enzyme areformamide andH2O, whereas its twoproducts areformate andNH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family ofhydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. Thesystematic name of this enzyme class isformamide amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates inglyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism andnitrogen metabolism.
As of late 2007, fourstructures have been solved for this class of enzymes, withPDB accession codes2DYU,2DYV,2E2K, and2E2L.
