Streptothricin hydrolase (EC 3.5.2.19, sttH (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name streptothricin-F hydrolase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- streptothricin-F + H2O streptothricin-F acid
The enzyme also catalyses the hydrolysis of streptothricin-D to streptothricin-D acid.
