Mimosinase


In enzymology, a mimosinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -2-amino-3-propanoate and H2O, whereas its two products are 3-hydroxy-4H-pyrid-4-one and L-serine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is mimosine amidohydrolase.
