Biuret amidohydrolase

In enzymology, a biuret amidohydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * biuret + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ urea(CH4N2O) + CO2 + NH3

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are biuret and H2O, whereas its 3 products are urea, CO2, and NH3.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is biuret amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in atrazine degradation.
