Enzyme Information

3.5.1.88
Peptide deformylase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0A6K3
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.
