Abstract

Under this heading there is generally grouped a heterogeneous collection of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of the carbon-nitrogen bond of certain chemically dissimilar compounds. The following enzymes of this category will be discussed in this work: arginase, urease, and the enzymes that hydrolyse certain carboxylic acid and amino acid amides, in particular, asparaginase and glutaminase. Treatment of other enzymes commonly grouped with the amidases, namely, hippuricase, and the enzymes decomposing histidine are omitted because they represent a mixture of enzymes, or are too poorly characterized at present to be included in this work. Allantoinase and allantoicase see p. 368 ff.
