In enzymology an arylmalonate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.76) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-aryl-2-methylmalonate 2-arylpropanoate + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate 2-aryl-2-methylmalonate and two products 2-arylpropanoate and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the carboxy-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-aryl-2-methylmalonate carboxy-lyase (2-arylpropanoate-forming).
