In enzymology, a peptide deformylase (EC 3.5.1.88) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

H2O + formyl-L-methionyl peptide methionyl peptide + formate


Activite of peptide deformylase

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and H2O, whereas its two products are formate and .

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is formyl-L-methionyl peptide amidohydrolase.
