DE   2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase.
AN   HEPD.
CA   2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O2 = formate + H(+) +
CA   hydroxymethylphosphonate.
CC   -!- Isolated from some bacteria including Streptomyces hygroscopicus and
CC       Streptomyces viridochromogenes.
CC   -!- The pro-R hydrogen at C-2 of the ethyl group is retained by the
CC       formate ion.
