Enzymes

General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in cyclic amides
Specific function:
Catalyzes the stereospecific hydrolysis of the cyclic amide bond of D-hydantoin derivatives with an aromatic side chains at the 5'-position. Has no activity on dihydropyrimidines. The physiological function is unknown
