Aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase

In enzymology, an aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.29) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-Substituted aminoacyl-tRNA and H2O, whereas its two products are N-substituted amino acid and tRNA.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aminoacyl-tRNA aminoacylhydrolase. Other names in common use include aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleate hydrolase, N-substituted aminoacyl transfer RNA hydrolase, and peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 9 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1RYB, 1WN2, 1XTY, 2D3K, 2E1B, 2PTH, 2Z2I, 2Z2J, and 2Z2K.

gollark: I don't think so, umnikos.
gollark: No. Vote Gibson so we can get an election later.
gollark: Umnikos may be too friendllylyly with you.
gollark: No, not really.
gollark: What? Is that a good idea? I'm not sure umnikos is the right choice.
