Pyrrole-2-carboxylate decarboxylase

Pyrrole-2-carboxylate decarboxylase is an enzyme with systematic name pyrrole-2-carboxylate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (1) pyrrole-2-carboxylate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyrrole + CO2
 * (2) pyrrole-2-carboxylate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyrrole + HCO3−

The enzyme catalyses both the carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions.
