CA   a ubiquinone + caffeine + H2O = 1,3,7-trimethylurate + a ubiquinol.
CC   -!- This enzyme, characterized from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas sp.
CC       CBB1, catalyzes the incorporation of an oxygen atom originating from
CC       a water molecule into position C-8 of caffeine. It can also use
CC       theobromine as substrate.
CC   -!- The enzyme utilizes short-tail ubiquinones as the preferred electron
CC       acceptor.
