amidases
Sign in to saveAlso known as acylamidase, N-acetylaminohydrolase, acylase, acetamidase, fatty acylamidase, amidohydrolase, acylamide amidohydrolase
In enzymology, an amidase (, acylamidase, acylase (misleading), amidohydrolase (ambiguous), deaminase (ambiguous), fatty acylamidase, N-acetylaminohydrolase (ambiguous)) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of an amide. In this way, the two substrates of this enzyme are an amide and H2O, whereas its two products are monocarboxylate and NH3.
