6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase

In enzymology, a 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H2O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate and H2O, whereas its product is two molecules of 6-aminohexanoate.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate amidohydrolase.

This enzyme is also called 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase.

As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1WYB, 1WYC, and 2DCF.
