In enzymology, a N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.77) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ D-amino acid + NH₃ + CO₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are D-amino acid, NH₃, and CO₂.

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 '.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1ERZ, 1UF4, 1UF5, 1UF7, 1UF8, 2GGK, and 2GGL.
