How Can We Help?
The enzyme 2-deoxyglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.112) catalyzes the following chemical reaction
- a 2-deoxy-α-D-glucoside + H2O 2-deoxy-D-glucose + an alcohol
It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is 2-deoxy-α-D-glucoside deoxyglucohydrolase. Other names in common use include 2-deoxy-α-glucosidase, and 2-deoxy-α-D-glucosidase.
