In enzymology a ribosylpyrimidine nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiona pyrimidine nucleoside + H2O D-ribose + a pyrimidine baseThus the two substrates of this enzyme are pyrimidine nucleoside and H2O whereas its two products are D-ribose and pyrimidine base.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those glycosylases that hydrolyse N-glycosyl compounds.
