Mixed Function Oxygenases

Hydroxylaser

Svensk definition

En stor grupp enzymer som förmedlar oxidations-reduktionsreaktioner där en atom i en syremolekyl binds till det organiska substratet. Den reducerade syreatomen binds med väte och bildar vatten. Enzymerna kallas även monooxygenaser. Dessa reaktioner fordrar två substrat som reduktanter för var och en av de båda syreatomerna. Det finns olika klasser av enzymerna beroende på vilken typ av väteavgivande kosubstrat (koenzymer) som krävs för blandfunktionsoxidationen. EC 1.4 - 1.97.

Engelsk definition

Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
