The mechanism of hydrolysis performed by polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase is not known.
It has been suggested that the enzyme utilizes a catalytic triad composed of Ser-87, Asp-216 and His-244.
The catalytic amino acid order is the same as the order of enzymes that are part of the α/β hydrolase family.
Thus polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase may be a novel member of the α/β hydrolase group.
