The enzyme gluconate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.39) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- D-gluconate 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + H2O
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-gluconate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate-forming). Other names in common use include D-gluconate dehydratase, and D-gluconate hydro-lyase.
