- Lignostilbene alphabeta-dioxygenase
In
enzymology , a lignostilbene alphabeta-dioxygenase (EC number|1.13.11.43) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene + O2 ightleftharpoons 2 vanillin
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene and O2, whereas its product isvanillin .This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene:oxygen oxidoreductase (alphabeta-bond-cleaving). It employs one cofactor,iron .References
