R12746 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Levoglucosan is formed from the pyrolysis of carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose and is an important molecular marker for pollution from biomass burning. The enzyme, found in yeast and fungi, requires a magnesium ion. cf. EC
1.1.1.425 , levoglucosan dehydrogenase.
History
EC 2.7.1.232 created 2021
