Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate, and two products, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (α-ketoisovaleric acid) and H2O.
This enzyme participates in valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis and pantothenate and coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis.
Nomenclature
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 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate hydro-lyase (3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate-forming). Other names in common use include
- acetohydroxyacid dehydratase,
- alpha,beta-dihydroxyacid dehydratase,
- 2,3-dihydroxyisovalerate dehydratase,
- alpha,beta-dihydroxyisovalerate dehydratase,
- dihydroxy acid dehydrase,
- DHAD,
- and 2,3-dihydroxy-acid hydro-lyase.
gollark: I mean, it's probably way more complicated, but basically you can't send information faster than light that way.
gollark: Anyway, my knowledge of this is not very detailed, but IIRC quantum entanglement means that if you observe one particle the other one collapses into another state, or something like that, and you don't control which state is picked, so you can't send any data.
gollark: Yes. I think they might strip a bunch of the images, but with *no* media, just text content, it's 15GB.
gollark: You can't use quantum entanglement to actually transmit any data.
gollark: Wikipedia's only 85GB compressed a lot, you could transfer that across easily.
