In enzymology a propionate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + propanoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + propanoyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP propanoate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and propanoyl-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 propanoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
