3.5.1.64 |
Accepted name: |
Nα-benzyloxycarbonylleucine hydrolase |
Reaction: |
Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine + H2O = benzyl alcohol + CO2 + L-leucine |
Other name(s): |
benzyloxycarbonylleucine hydrolase; Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase IV; α-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine urethanehydrolase |
Systematic name: |
Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine urethanehydrolase |
Comments: |
Also acts on Nα-t-butoxycarbonyl-L-leucine, and, more slowly, on the corresponding derivatives of L-aspartate, L-methionine, L-glutamate and L-alanine. cf. EC 3.5.1.58 N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase. |
