Phosphonoacetate hydrolase
In enzymology, a phosphonoacetate hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are phosphonoacetate and HO, whereas its two products are acetate and phosphate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-phosphorus bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphonoacetate phosphonohydrolase. This enzyme participates in aminophosphonate metabolism. It employs one cofactor, zinc. Structural studies. The structure of this enzyme, with the PDB accession code , shows it adopts the alkaline phosphatase fold.
