Type: | Domain | Name: | Penicillin amidase type, domain1 |
Description: | Penicillin amidase or penicillin acylase catalyses the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin to phenylacetic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) a key intermediate in the the synthesis of penicillins [].This entry represents the N-terminal structural domain of the penicillin amidase peptidases. It forms an alpha-helical orthogonal bundle []. This domain is also found in other S45 peptidases like Glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic-acid acylase. | Short Name: | Penicillin_amidase_dom1 |
