Enzyme Information
| 3.5.1.88 | 
							 Peptide deformylase. 
							based on mapping to UniProt Q9FV53 		
							Formyl-L-methionyl peptide + H(2)O = formate + methionyl peptide. 
							-!- Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. -!- N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions. -!- Differs in substrate specificity from EC 3.5.1.27 and EC 3.5.1.31.
