Hydroperoxide dehydratase


The enzyme hydroperoxide dehydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction
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 --hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,14-trienoate 12,13-hydro-lyase . Other names in common use include hydroperoxide isomerase, linoleate hydroperoxide isomerase, linoleic acid hydroperoxide isomerase, HPI, --hydroperoxyoctadeca-9,11,14-trienoate, and 12,13-hydro-lyase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code.
