Beta-nitroacrylate reductase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a beta-nitroacrylate reductase (EC 1.3.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3-nitropropanoate + NADP+ 3-nitroacrylate + NADPH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-nitropropanoate and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are 3-nitroacrylate, NADPH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-nitropropanoate:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
