*1.2.1.2 Pectin lyase*

Pectin lyase catalyzes the breaking of α- 1, 4 glycosidic bonds and generates galacturonide with unsaturated galacturonic acid. Pectin lyase is classified into

exo-pectin lyase and endo-pectin lyase on the basis of catalyzing the breaking of α- 1, 4 glycosidic bonds sequentially and randomly, respectively.
