2,3-dihydroxyindole 2,3-dioxygenase

Class of enzymes 2,3-dihydroxyindole 2,3-dioxygenase 1.13.11.23 37256-62-5 0047528 2,3-dihydroxyindole 2,3-dioxygenase (1.13.11.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 40% Q27102651 2,3-dihydroxyindole 1.3 O2 CO2 anthranilic acid The two substrates of this enzyme are 2,3-dihydroxyindole and oxygen. Its two products are anthranilic acid and carbon dioxide.1.13.11.23Fujioka M, Wada H 1968 The bacterial oxidation of indole Biochim. Biophys. Acta 158 70–8 5652436 1 10.1016/0304-4165(68)90073-1 This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, 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 2,3-dihydroxyindole:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase (decyclizing). This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism. References Biology no Category:EC 1.13.11 Category:Enzymes of unknown structure
