Hydrolases: Unraveling the Complexity of Cellular Metabolism 🔬 they are a diverse group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of various substrates, playing a crucial role in numerous biochemical processes. In this conceptual image, we delve into the world of hydrolases, focusing on three key representatives: Beta-galactosidase, Carbamoylsarcosine amidase, and Acyl-CoA hydrolase. 🔵 Beta-galactosidase (F006 / 9250, C015 / 1970, C015 / 1971): This enzyme breaks down beta-galactosides, a type of sugar molecule, into simpler components, such as galactose and a aglycone. It plays an essential role in lactose metabolism and is widely used in industry for the production of lactose-free milk and other dairy products. 🔵 Carbamoylsarcosine Amidase (EC 3.5.1.11): This hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of carbamoylsarcosine to sarcosine and urea, and is involved in the urea cycle, a process that helps eliminate excess ammonia from the body. 🔵 Acyl-CoA Hydrolase (C015 / 6724, C015 / 6725): These enzymes hydrolyze Acyl-CoA esters, releasing the corresponding acids and CoA. They play a significant role in the metabolism of fatty acids and are essential for various cellular processes, including energy production and lipid synthesis. Together, these hydrolases demonstrate the intricate and interconnected nature of cellular metabolism, highlighting the importance of enzymes in maintaining the delicate balance within living organisms.
