4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase

In enzymology, a 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.96) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4a- hydroxypterin (6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-pterin + H2O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4a- and hydroxypterin, whereas its two products are (6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-pterin and H2O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4a-hydroxy pterin hydro-lyase [(6R)-6-(L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-pterin-formin g]. Other names in common use include 4alpha-hydroxy-tetrahydropterin dehydratase, pterin-4alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase, and 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin hydro-lyase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1DCO, 1DCP, and 1RU0.

gollark: Basically, you specify all your configuration in a declarative purely-functional language, which is then translated into actual system config.
gollark: One really cool thing I use on a server is NixOS.
gollark: Yes, because they compile the binaries on their end.
gollark: I use Arch Linux, which is rolling release (there are no fixed versions of the distro, you just update your packages whenever they get updated), very flexible (you install it manually, choosing partition layout, DE, extra software, etc), and has the AUR, a giant collection of user-packaged software.
gollark: Plus different stuff for managing services.
