Methionine racemase
In
enzymology
, a
methionine
racemase
is an
enzyme
that
catalyzes
the
chemical reaction
Hence
, this enzyme has one
substrate
,
L-methionine
, and one
product
,
D-methionine
.
This enzyme
belongs to
the
family
of
isomerases
,
specifically
those
racemases and epimerases
acting
on
amino acids
and
derivatives
. The
systematic name
of this enzyme
class
is
methionine racemase
. It employs one
cofactor
,
