Molecular Mechanisms of Enzyme-Catalyzed Dioxygenation (An Interdisciplinary Review)

  • Chapter

Part of the Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products book series (FORTCHEMIE (closed),volume 40)

Abstract

Enzymes which catalyze the introduction of one or both atoms of a molecule of oxygen into an organic substrate are termed oxygenases. Further classification into mono- and dioxygenases in based on whether the enzyme causes transfer of just one atom to the substrate (S) (eq. 1) or whether the whole molecule is incorporated into a single substrate (eq. 2a) or is shared by a pair of substrates (S, S′) (eq. 2b) (1, 2)1.
