EC 3.5.4.45 Details
EC number
3.5.4.45
Accepted name
melamine deaminase
Reaction
(1) melamine + H2O = ammeline + NH3;;(2) ammeline + H2O = ammelide + NH3
Other name(s)
triA (gene name)
Systematic name
melamine aminohydrolase
Comment
The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Acidovorax citrulli, performs the deamination of melamine 15-fold faster than the deamination of ammeline. It also has activity with 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-s-triazine, but has no activity toward halo-substituted triazine ring compounds such as atrazine (cf. EC 3.8.1.8, atrazine chlorohydrolase).
