Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase
Template:Infobox enzyme Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase (Template:EC number, benzoyl-CoA dioxygenase/reductase, BoxBA, BoxA/BoxB system) is an enzyme with systematic name benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-hydroxylating).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- benzoyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ + O2 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA + NADP+
Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase is involved in aerobic benzoate metabolism in Azoarcus evansii.
