3-chloro-D-alanine dehydrochlorinase
In enzymology, a 3-chloro-D-alanine dehydrochlorinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-chloro-D-alanine and H2O, whereas its 3 products are pyruvate, chloride, and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-halide lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-chloro-D-alanine chloride-lyase . Other names in common use include beta-chloro-D-alanine dehydrochlorinase, and 3-chloro-D-alanine chloride-lyase . It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
