In enzymology, a glucose-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate + H₂O D-glucose + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and H₂O, whereas its two products are D-glucose and phosphate. Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins This article is about the Enzyme Commission codes For the European Commission system for coding chemicals see EC-No. Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a Chemical reaction is increased by means of a Chemical substance known as a catalyst A chemical reaction is a process that always results in the interconversion of Chemical substances The substance or substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. A product is a substance that forms as a result of a Biological - or Chemical reaction. Glucose (Glc a Monosaccharide (or simple Sugar) also known as grape sugar, is an important Carbohydrate in Biology. A phosphate, an Inorganic chemical, is a salt of Phosphoric acid.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. In Biochemistry, a hydrolase is an Enzyme that catalyzes the Hydrolysis of a Chemical bond. Esters are a class of Chemical compounds and Functional groups Esters consist of an inorganic or organic Acid in which at least The systematic name of this enzyme class is alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycolysis / gluconeogenesis.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1NT4. In Biochemistry and Chemistry, the tertiary structure of a Protein or any other Macromolecule is its three-dimensional structure as defined The Protein Data Bank ( PDB) is a repository for 3-D structural data of Proteins and Nucleic acids These data typically obtained by X-ray crystallography
