3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 apyridoxal 5’-phosphate enzyme. Its introduction has been used to make fruit ripening dependent on externally added ethylene, as it removes the substrate for endogenous ethylene formation - 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 mechanism 648251, 648268, 648269, 648271 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 overall reaction - 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 reaction mechanism, detailed overview -, 718894 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 ring cleavage is induced by a nucleophilic attack at the pro-S-beta-methylene carbon of substrate, with Tyr294 as the nucleophile. Alternatively, ring opening is acid-catalyzed and may be facilitated by charge relay through pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, with Tyr294 as general acid -, 667585 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 ring cleavage is regiospecific and only occurs between the pro-S and the alpha-carbon of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate 648248 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 ring cleavage of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate is a nucleophilic-addition initiated event 648254 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 stereochemistry 648248, 648249 3.5.99.7 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate = 2-aminobut-2-enoate (1a) - 3.5.99.7 2-aminobut-2-enoate = 2-iminobutanoate spontaneous - 3.5.99.7 2-iminobutanoate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 spontaneous -
