Acetophenone carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.8) is an enzyme with systematic name acetophenone:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 2 ATP + acetophenone + HCO3− + H2O + H+ 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate
The enzyme is involved in anaerobic degradation of ethylbenzene.
