Protein
N-substituted formamide deformylase
Organism
Arthrobacter pascens
Function
Hydrolyzes N-substituted formamides, but not amides. N-benzylformamide is the preferred substrate, while N-butylformamide is hydrolyzed at a much lower rate. Has very low activity towards allylformamide, N-(2-cyclohex-1-enylethyl)formamide and N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)formamide.
Similarity
Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily.
