Abstract

Meta Fission Product (MFP) hydrolases catalyze hydrolysis of a low reactive carbon-carbon bond found in Meta Fission Products, generated during biodegradation of various aromatic compounds. These enzymes belong to the alpha/beta hydrolase super family and show structural conservation despite having poor sequence similarity. MFP-hydrolases are substrate specific and studies have indicated that this substrate specificity plays a key role in the determination of the organism's ability to degrade a particular substrate. In this concise review of MFP-hydrolases we discuss their classification, biochemical properties, the molecular basis of their substrate specificity, their catalytic mechanism and evolutionary significance.
