In enzymology a dihydrodipicolinate synthase (EC 4.3.3.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + pyruvate (S)-23-dihydropyridine-26-dicarboxylate + 2 H2OThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde and pyruvate whereas its two products are (S)-23-dihydropyridine-26-dicarboxylate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the hydro-lyases which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds.
