Structure of 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase complex with 6-aminohexanoate, aminocaproate, glycerol and sulfate (PDB code 2zm9).
6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase (AHDH) catalyzes the conversion of N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate to 6-aminohexanoate monomers.
AHDH degrades the industrial byproduct nylon 6.
