EC | 3.5.4.45 | ||
Accepted name: | melamine deaminase | ||
Reaction: | (1) melamine + H2O = ammeline + NH3 (2) ammeline + H2O = ammelide + NH3 |
||
Glossary: | melamine = 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine ammeline = 4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazin-2-ol ammelide = 6-amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diol |
||
Other name(s): | triA (gene name) | ||
Systematic name: | melamine aminohydrolase | ||
Comments: | The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Acidovorax citrulli, performs the deamination of melamine 15-fold faster than the deamination of ammeline. It also has activity with 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-s-triazine, but has no activity toward halo-substituted triazine ring compounds such as atrazine (cf. EC 3.8.1.8, atrazine chlorohydrolase). | ||
