Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are adenine and H2O, whereas its two products are hypoxanthine and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is adenine aminohydrolase. Other names in common use include adenase, adenine aminase, and ADase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2ICS.
gollark: If I spent a lot of krist on lasers I could plausibly get 128 or so, enough to cover half a chunk at once.
gollark: It'd take a year at optimal speeds. Probably more in practice since a player would need to be there to manage them.
gollark: 32 GTech™ experimental laser drills could plausibly clear a chunk in a minute or so. There are (14000/16)² chunks. Oh no.
gollark: Self replicating turtles and/or lasers.
gollark: That means that in order to hack them you usually have to jack into cyberspace and deploy fancy visualizations.
