In enzymology a maleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)-malate maleate + H2OHence this enzyme has one substrate (R)-malate and two products maleate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the hydro-lyases which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-malate hydro-lyase (maleate-forming). Other names in common use include D-malate hydro-lyase malease and (R)-malate hydro-lyase.
