- Flavonol synthase
In
enzymology , a flavonol synthase (EC number|1.14.11.23) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :a dihydroflavonol + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 a flavonol + succinate + CO2 + H2O
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
dihydroflavonol ,2-oxoglutarate , and O2, whereas its 4 products areflavonol ,succinate , CO2, and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2 with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into each donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dihydroflavonol,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates inflavonoid biosynthesis .References
