Beta-lysine 5,6-aminomutase
In enzymology, a beta-lysine 5,6-aminomutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, -3,6-diaminohexanoate, and one product, -3,5-diaminohexanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring amino groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -3,6-diaminohexanoate 5,6-aminomutase. Other names in common use include beta-lysine mutase, and L-beta-lysine 5,6-aminomutase. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation. It employs one cofactor, cobamide.As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code.
