In enzymology a malate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + malate + CoA ADP + phosphate + malyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP malate and CoA whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and malyl-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 malate:CoA ligase (ADP-forming).
