The enzyme arabinonate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.5) catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-arabinonate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabinonate + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-arabinonate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabinonate-forming). This enzyme is also called D-arabinonate hydro-lyase.
