[edit] Anhydride Decarboxylase

Non sense. I've never heard of this enzyme. IUBMB search results in NO entries. Geogle results are either wikipedia or defining anhydride alone. This enzyme doesn't exist.--Wedian 01:41, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: All contributions of User:172.151.158.176 are non sense. Enzymes Myline phosphate kinase, Peptidal Transferase and Pyruvase Deaminase don't exist either. Delete all.--Wedian 02:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment There are three independent definitions for decarboxylase ("Any of various enzymes that hydrolize the carboxyl radical.") but I don't know if there is an anhydride variation, unverifiable so far. --Ruby 02:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The article is not about decarboxylases. Decarboxylases are a whole group of enzymes, a subclass of Lyases. Wikipedia has articles for some decarboxylases e.gUroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase. The IUBMB (The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)[1] is responsible for enzymes nomenclature. Please refer to the Enzyme naming conventions. If an enzyme exists, it will be in their database.Please search their database here. No results are retrived. However enzymes as Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase exist in their database. A complete list of decarboxylases can be found here. As you can see Anhydride Decarboxylase doesn't exist. The protein data bank has no record for it either. Same applies for the other 3 enzymes. These enzymes exist only in wikipedia.--Wedian 03:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Per Wedian's impressive exposition of the problem --Ruby 03:46, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. Superm401 - Talk 04:28, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Wedian's research & explanation. ---J.Smith 06:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete -- well summarized Wedian! -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 07:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete' per Wedian.--Isotope23 17:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree with Wedian above. ric 23:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete these fictional enzymes as per Wedian. 'Pyruvase deaminase' is the worst.. there's no such thing as 'pyruvase', and pyruvate is conspicuously lacking in anything to deaminate. -- Mithent 23:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Appears to be a hoax. -ikkyu2 (talk) 01:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
