Biotin-independent malonate decarboxylase

Biotin-independent malonate decarboxylase (, malonate decarboxylase (without biotin), malonate decarboxylase, MDC) is an enzyme with systematic name malonate carboxy-lyase (biotin-independent). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * malonate + H+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetate + CO2

Two types of malonate decarboxylase are currently known, both of which form multienzyme complexes.
