Oxygenase

Oxygenase logo #21000 An oxygenase is any enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring the oxygen from molecular oxygen O2 (as in air) to it. The oxygenases form a class of oxidoreductases; their EC number is EC 1.13 or EC 1.14. Oxygenases were discovered in 1955 simultaneously by two groups, Osamu Hayaishi from Japan and Howard S. Mason from the US. Hayaishi was a...

oxygenase logo #20973<enzyme> That catalyses the incorporation of the oxygen of molecular oxygen into organic substrates. Dioxygenases (oxygen transferases) catalyse introduction of both atoms of molecular oxygen, monoxygenases (mixed function oxygenases) introduce one atom, the other becomes reduced to water, so that these enzymes require a second substrate, act...

oxygenase

oxygenase logo #10444Enzyme catalysing the incorporation of the oxygen of molecular oxygen into organic substrates. Dioxygenases (oxygen transferases) catalyse introduction of both atoms of molecular oxygen; monoxygenases (mixed function oxygenases) introduce one atom, the other becomes reduced to water, so that these enzymes require a second substrate, acting as oxygen donor. Both types are used by bacteria in degradation of aromatic compounds. Dioxygenases all contain iron, eg. tryp-2,3 dioxygenase. Examples of mono-oxygenases are the enzymes that hydroxylate proline and lysine of collagen, using a -ketoglutarate. ...
