Description
The enzyme is involved in degradation of nylon-6 oligomers. It degrades linear oligomers of 6-aminohexanoate with a degree of polymerization of 2–20 by exo-type cleavage, removing residues sequentially from the N-terminus. Activity decreases with the increase of the polymerization number of the oligomer. cf. EC 3.5.1.117, 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer endohydrolase and EC 3.5.2.12, 6-aminohexanoate-cyclic-dimer hydrolase.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase; nylB (gene name); 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase (ambiguous); N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate amidohydrolase; nylon-6 hydrolase (ambiguous)
Reaction
(1) [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n + H2O = [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n-1 + 6-aminohexanoate; (2) N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H2O = 2 6-aminohexanoate
