L(+)-tartrate dehydratase |
| Reaction: |
(R,R)-tartrate = oxaloacetate + H2O |
| Other name(s): |
tartrate dehydratase; tartaric acid dehydrase; L-tartrate dehydratase; L-(+)-tartaric acid dehydratase; (R,R)-tartrate hydro-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
(R,R)-tartrate hydro-lyase (oxaloacetate-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme exists in an inactive low-molecular-mass form, which is converted into active enzyme in the presence of Fe2+ and thiol. cf. EC 4.2.1.81 D(-)-tartrate dehydratase. |
