A dehalogenase is a type of
enzyme Enzymes () are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products ...
that catalyzes the removal of a
halogen The halogens () are a group in the periodic table consisting of five or six chemically related elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At), and tennessine (Ts). In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, this grou ...
atom from a substrate. Examples include: * Reductive dehalogenases * 4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenase * 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase * Dichloromethane dehalogenase * Fluoroacetate dehydrogenase *
Haloacetate dehalogenase In enzymology, a haloacetate dehalogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :haloacetate + H2O \rightleftharpoons glycolate + halide Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are haloacetate and H2O, whereas its two product ...
* (R)-2-haloacid dehalogenase * (S)-2-haloacid dehalogenase * Haloalkane dehalogenase * Halohydrin dehalogenase *
