ID   1.3.8.3
DE   (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
CA   (R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA + H(+) + oxidized [electron-transfer
CA   flavoprotein] = (E)-2-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + reduced [electron-
CA   transfer flavoprotein].
CC   -!- Contains a tightly-bound FAD cofactor.
CC   -!- Unlike other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, this enzyme exhibits high
CC       substrate- and enantiomer specificity; it is highly specific for (R)-
CC       benzylsuccinyl-CoA and is inhibited by (S)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA.
CC   -!- Forms the third step in the anaerobic toluene metabolic pathway in
CC       Thauera aromatica.
CC   -!- Ferricenium ion is an effective artificial electron acceptor.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.3.99.21.
