Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are uridine and H2O, whereas its two products are D-ribose and uracil.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosylases that hydrolyse N-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is uridine ribohydrolase. This enzyme is also called uridine hydrolase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine metabolism.
Structural studies

gollark: This is already happening so it may as well be used for good.
gollark: You have to admit that this would be very cool if implemented literally everywhere.

gollark: I've published one (1) paper in the journal of osmarks research™, ironically.
