In enzymology, a N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.58) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine + H2O benzyl alcohol + CO2 + glycine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine and H2O, whereas its 3 products are benzyl alcohol, CO2, and glycine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine urethanehydrolase. Other names in common use include benzyloxycarbonylglycine hydrolase, Nalpha-carbobenzoxyamino acid amidohydrolase, Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase, and Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid urethane hydrolase I. It has 2 cofactors: zinc, and Cobalt.
