Description
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is IMP 1,2-hydrolase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include inosinicase, and inosinate cyclohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the cyclisation of 5-formylamidoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide to IMP, a reaction which is important in de novo purine biosynthesis in archaeal species.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
