In enzymology, a N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.77) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] D-amino acid + NH3 + CO2
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid and H2O, whereas its 3 products are D-amino acid, NH3, and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1ERZ, 1UF4, 1UF5, 1UF7, 1UF8, 2GGK, and 2GGL.
