Sulfopyruvate decarboxylase
In enzymology, a sulfopyruvate decarboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-sulfopyruvate, and two products, 2-sulfoacetaldehyde and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-sulfopyruvate carboxy-lyase . This enzyme is also called sulfopyruvate carboxy-lyase.
