D(−)-tartrate dehydratase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme D(−)-tartrate dehydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

(S,S)-tartrate $\rightleftharpoons$ oxaloacetate + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S,S)-tartrate hydro-lyase (oxaloacetate-forming). Other names in common use include D-tartrate dehydratase, and (S,S)-tartrate hydro-lyase. It has 2 cofactors: iron and manganese.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes Template:PDB link and Template:PDB link.
