1,4-lactonase
In enzymology, a 1,4-lactonase (EC 3.1.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the generic chemical reaction:
- a 1,4-lactone + H2O a 4-hydroxyacid

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1,4-lactone and H2O, whereas its product is 4-hydroxyacid.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,4-lactone hydroxyacylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called gamma-lactonase. This enzyme participates in galactose metabolism and ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. It employs one cofactor, calcium.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, three structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2DG0, 2DG1, and 2DSO.
gollark: They are vulnerable to many side channel attacks which AMD CPUs are not.
gollark: Intel stuff performs worse and has various vulnerabilities so it seems worse in basically every way.
gollark: Side channel attacks?
gollark: Like what? What else is there?
gollark: If you just need to protect a camera sensor maybe you could use an LCD or something, it could probably respond quicker than a mechanical thing.
