In enzymology a maleimide hydrolase (EC 3.5.2.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionmaleimide + H2O maleamic acidThus the two substrates of this enzyme are maleimide and H2O whereas its product is maleamic acid.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in cyclic amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (decyclizing).
