In enzymology a chalcone isomerase (EC 5.5.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiona chalcone a flavanoneHence this enzyme has one substrate a chalcone and one product a flavanone.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically the class of intramolecular lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is flavanone lyase (decyclizing). This enzyme is also called chalcone-flavanone isomerase. This enzyme participates in flavonoid biosynthesis.
