Dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of oxygen and hydrogen from organic compounds in the form of water. This process is also known as dehydration reaction. There are four classes of dehydratases: 1. Dehydratases acting on 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA esters (no cofactors) 2. Dehydratases acting on 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA esters (radical reaction, [...

A subclass (EC 4.2.1) of lyases (hydro-lyases) that remove H and OH as H2O from a substrate, leaving a double bond, or add a group to a double bond by the elimination of water from two substances to form a third; synthase is sometimes used when the synthetic aspect of the reaction is emphasized. Some trivial names of enzymes in this subclass bear t...
