| Accepted Name |
|---|
| 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer exohydrolase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase. |
| 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase. |
| Nylon-6 hydrolase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
- (N-(6-aminohexanoyl))(n) + H(2)O <=> (N-(6-aminohexanoyl))(n-1) + 6-aminohexanoate
- N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H(2)O <=> 2 6-aminohexanoate
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- 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 and EC 3.5.2.12.
