KEGG   ENZYME: 3.5.1.91
Entry
EC 3.5.1.91                 Enzyme                                 
Name
N-substituted formamide deformylase;
NfdA
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds;
In linear amides
Sysname
N-benzylformamide amidohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
N-benzylformamide + H2O = formate + benzylamine [RN:R07303]
Reaction(KEGG)
R07303
Substrate
N-benzylformamide [CPD:C15561];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
formate [CPD:C00058];
benzylamine [CPD:C15562]
Comment
Zinc is a cofactor. While N-benzylformamide is the best substrate, the enzyme from Arthrobacter pascens can also act on the N-substituted formamides N-butylformamide, N-allylformamide, N-[2-(cyclohex-1-enyl)ethyl]formamide and N-(1-phenylethyl)formamide, but much more slowly. Amides of other acids do not act as substrates.
