Mannuronate-specific alginate lyase, a Common card
The enzyme mannuronate-specific alginate lyase catalyzes the degradation of alginate into various monosaccharide and polysaccharide products: Eliminative cleavage of alginate to give oligosaccharides with 4-deoxy-α-L-erythro-hex-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing ends and β-D-mannuronate at their reducing end.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Alginate lyase cleaves the glycosidic bonds of alginate via a β-elimination mechanism, in which it first converts alginate into several oligosaccharides containing unsaturated uronic acids at their non-reducing ends.
- It then cleaves the oligosaccharides, forming 4-deosy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronic acid.
- This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mannuronate-specific alginate lyase article was read about 460 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 23: each hit it takes is cut by 9 %.
