Guanosine deaminase

In enzymology, a guanosine deaminase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

guanosine + H<sub>2</sub>O xanthosine + NH<sub>3</sub>

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are guanosine and H<sub>2</sub>O, whereas its two products are xanthosine and NH<sub>3</sub>.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is guanosine aminohydrolase. This enzyme is also called guanosine aminase.
