In enzymology, an alkylmercury lyase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :an alkylmercury + H+ an alkane + Hg2+ Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are alkylmercury and H+, whereas its two products are alkane and a mercury ion. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the "catch-all" class of lyases that do not fit into any other sub-class. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alkylmercury mercuric-lyase (alkane-forming). Other names in common use include organomercury lyase, organomercurial lyase, and alkylmercury mercuric-lyase. The enzyme converts methyl mercury to the much less toxic elemental form of the metal. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alkylmercury lyase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
