Sysname
N-isopropylammelide isopropylaminohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
N-isopropylammelide + H2O = cyanuric acid + isopropylamine [RN:
R05560 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Requires Zn2+. This bacterial enzyme is involved in degradation of the herbicide atrazine. It can hydrolyse other N-substituted amino dihydroxy-s-triazine molecules, and prefers substrates with linear N-alkyl groups to those with branched alkyl groups.
