In enzymology a pantoate-beta-alanine ligase (EC 6.3.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + (R)-pantoate + beta-alanine AMP + diphosphate + (R)-pantothenateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP (R)-pantoate and beta-alanine whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and (R)-pantothenate.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
