AMP nucleosidase
In enzymology, an AMP nucleosidase (EC3.2.2.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are AMP and H2O, whereas its two products are D-ribose 5-phosphate and adenine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosylases that hydrolyse N-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is AMP phosphoribohydrolase. Other names in common use include adenylate nucleosidase, and adenosine monophosphate nucleosidase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
