In enzymology a blasticidin-S deaminase (EC 3.5.4.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionblasticidin S + H2O deaminohydroxyblasticidin S + NH3Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are blasticidin S and H2O whereas its two products are deaminohydroxyblasticidin S and NH3.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in cyclic amidines.
