Alpha-glucuronidase
''For beta-glucuronidase, see Beta-glucuronidase'' In enzymology, an alpha-glucuronidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :an alpha-D-glucuronoside + H2O \rightleftharpoons an alcohol + D-glucuronate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are alpha-D-glucuronoside and H2O, whereas its two products are alcohol and D-glucuronate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is alpha-D-glucosiduronate glucuronohydrolase. This enzyme is also called alpha-glucosiduronase. Structural studies As of late 2007, 13 structures A structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. Material structures include man-made objects such as buildings and machines and natural objects such as ... have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession c ...

Glycyrrhizinate Beta-glucuronidase
In enzymology, a glycyrrhizinate β-glucuronidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :glycyrrhizinate + H2O \rightleftharpoons 1,2-β-D-glucuronosyl-D-glucuronate + glycyrrhetinate It belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific those glycosidases that hydrolyse ''O''- and ''S''-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name A systematic name is a name given in a systematic way to one unique group, organism, object or chemical substance, out of a specific population or collection. Systematic names are usually part of a nomenclature. A semisystematic name or semitrivi ... is glycyrrhizinate glucuronosylhydrolase. Other names in common use include glycyrrhizin β-hydrolase, glycyrrhizin hydrolase, and glycyrrhizinic acid hydrolase.

Enzyme
An enzyme () is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrate (chemistry), substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as product (chemistry), products. Almost all metabolism, metabolic processes in the cell (biology), cell need enzyme catalysis in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life. Metabolic pathways depend upon enzymes to catalyze individual steps. The study of enzymes is called ''enzymology'' and the field of pseudoenzyme, pseudoenzyme analysis recognizes that during evolution, some enzymes have lost the ability to carry out biological catalysis, which is often reflected in their amino acid sequences and unusual 'pseudocatalytic' properties. Enzymes are known to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Other biocatalysts include Ribozyme, catalytic RNA molecules, also called ribozymes. They are sometimes descr ...
