2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase

2-deoxy-scyllo-Inosose synthase (EC 4.2.3.124, btrC (gene), neoC (gene), kanC (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name  D -glucose-6-phosphate phosphate-lyase (2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * D -glucose 6-phosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2-deoxy- L -scyllo-inosose + phosphate

This enzyme requires Co2+.
