In enzymology an adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionS-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine + adenineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and H2O whereas its two products are S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine and adenine.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those glycosylases that hydrolyse N-glycosyl compounds.
