Amygdalin beta-glucosidase
In enzymology, an amygdalin beta-glucosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -amygdalin and H2O, whereas its two products are -prunasin and D-glucose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is amygdalin beta-D-glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include amygdalase, amygdalinase, amygdalin hydrolase, and amygdalin glucosidase.
It can be completely inhibited by the action of Glucono delta-lactone at 1 mM concentration.
