Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dCTP and H2O, whereas its two products are dUTP 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 dCTP aminohydrolase. Other names in common use include deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase, and 5-methyl-dCTP deaminase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine metabolism.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 9 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1OGH, 1PKH, 1PKJ, 1PKK, 1XS1, 1XS4, 1XS6, 2J4H, and 2J4Q.
gollark: No, Turing completeness means it can simulate any Turing machine. It *can't* do that if it has limited memory.
gollark: I don't know exactly what its instruction set is like. But if it has finite-sized addresses, it can probably access finite amounts of memory, and thus is not Turing-complete.
gollark: *Languages* can be, since they often don't actually specify memory limits, implementations do.
gollark: It's not Turing-complete if it has limited memory.
gollark: Not *really*. In languages with an abstract model that doesn't specify limited memory sizes, yes, but PotatOS Assembly Language™'s addresses are 16 bits, so you can't address any more RAM than that.
