N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase

In enzymology, a N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.77) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid and H2O, whereas its 3 products are D-amino acid, NH3, and CO2.

This enzyme belongs to the subfamily of hydrolases which act on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1ERZ, 1UF4, 1UF5, 1UF7, 1UF8, 2GGK, and 2GGL.
