ID   1.11.2.6
DE   L-tyrosine peroxygenase.
CA   L-tyrosine + H2O2 = L-dopa + H2O.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces lincolnensis participates
CC       in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic lincomycin A, while that from
CC       Streptomyces refuineus is involved in anthramycin biosynthesis.
CC   -!- The enzyme, which contains a heme b cofactor, is rapidly inactivated
CC       in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, but the presence of L-tyrosine
CC       protects it. cf. EC 1.11.2.5.
