In enzymology a benzoate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + benzoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + benzoyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP benzoate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and benzoyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
