Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate (overall reaction)
(1a) (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = 2-isopropylmaleate + H2O
(1b) 2-isopropylmaleate + H2O = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate
Systematic Name
(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate hydro-lyase (2-isopropylmaleate-forming)
Function
Forms part of the leucine biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme brings about the interconversion of the two isomers of isopropylmalate. It contains an iron-sulfur cluster.
