context_page_description: In enzymology, a tartrate decarboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  -tartrate D-glycerate + CO₂
  Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, -tartrate, and two products, D-glycerate and CO₂.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is-tartrate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme is also called-tartrate carboxy-lyase.
context_section_description: In enzymology, a tartrate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.73) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  (R,R)-tartrate  D-glycerate + CO₂
  Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (R,R)-tartrate, and two products, D-glycerate and CO₂.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R,R)-tartrate carboxy-lyase (D-glycerate-forming). This enzyme is also called (R,R)-tartrate carboxy-lyase.
