The enzyme dGTPase (EC 3.1.5.1)[1][2] catalyzes the reaction

dGTP + H2O deoxyguanosine + triphosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on triphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is dGTP triphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include deoxy-GTPase, deoxyguanosine 5-triphosphate triphosphohydrolase, deoxyguanosine triphosphatase, and deoxyguanosine triphosphate triphosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.

Structural studies

[edit]

As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1HA3, 2C77, 2C78, and 2DQB.
