List Title

Alkylsuccinate synthase

Alkylsuccinate synthase is a complex enzyme that catalyses the initial step of anaerobic alkane degradation, where it adds an alkane to the double bond of fumarate. This process yields a (1-methylalkyl)succinate, which can then be further metabolised under anaerobic conditions by bacteria or methanogens. These enzymes, which use a glycyl radical, are found in various microorganisms, including nitrate- and sulfate-reducing bacteria, and play a crucial role in bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons.
