In enzymology a 2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-(acetamidomethylene)succinate hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-(acetamidomethylene)succinate + 2 H2O acetate + 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxobutanoate + NH3 + CO2Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are 2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-(acetamidomethylene)succinate and H2O whereas its 4 products are acetate 2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxobutanoate NH3 and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in linear amides.
