The Nudix family is a protein family of phosphohydrolases. Using water-mediated catalysis they break a phosphate bond in their substrate to create two products. Nudix stands for Nucleoside Diphosphate linked to X. There are two components to the Nudix family: the so-called Nudix fold of a beta sheet with alpha helices on each side and the Nudix motif which contains catalytic and metal-binding amino acids.
