In

enzymology, a beta-diketone hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

nonane-4,6-dione + H2O pentan-2-one + butanoate

Thus, the two

butanoate
.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is nonane-4,6-dione acylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called oxidized PVA hydrolase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two

structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2J5G and 2J5S
.
