L-fuconate dehydratase

The enzyme  L -fuconate dehydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * L -fuconate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2-dehydro-3-deoxy- L -fuconate + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is  L -fuconate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy- L -fuconate-forming). This enzyme is also called  L -fuconate hydro-lyase.
