In enzymology, a benzoylformate decarboxylase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the following chemical reaction: :benzoylformate + H+ benzaldehyde + CO2 Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, benzoylformate, and two products, benzaldehyde and CO2. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoylformate carboxy-lyase (benzaldehyde-forming). Other names in common use include phenylglyoxylate decarboxylase, and benzoylformate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation and toluene and xylene degradation. It employs one cofactor, thiamin diphosphate. ==Structural studies== As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , , , , , , and . 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「Benzoylformate decarboxylase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
