ENZYME entry: EC 3.5.1.117

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.5.1.117
Accepted Name
6-aminohexanoate-oligomer endohydrolase
Alternative Name(s)
6-aminohexanoate oligomer hydrolase
endo-type 6-aminohexanoate oligomer hydrolase
nylon-6 hydrolase
nylon hydrolase
nylon-oligomer hydrolase
Reaction catalysed
[N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n + H2O = [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n-x + [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]x
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is involved in degradation of nylon-6 oligomers.
  • It degrades linear or cyclic oligomers of poly(6-aminohexanoate) with a degree of polymerization greater than three (n > 3) by endo-type cleavage, to oligomers of a length of two or more (2 <= x < n).
  • It shows negligible activity with N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6- aminohexanoate (cf. EC 3.5.1.46) or with 1,8-diazacyclotetradecane- 2,9-dione (cf. EC 3.5.2.12).
