ID   1.17.5.1
DE   Phenylacetyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
AN   Phenylacetyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase.
CA   Phenylacetyl-CoA + H(2)O + 2 quinone = phenylglyoxylyl-CoA + 2 quinol.
CF   Iron-sulfur; Mo-molybdopterin.
CC   -!- The enzyme is specific for phenylacetyl-CoA as substrate.
CC   -!- Phenylacetate, acetyl-CoA, benzoyl-CoA, propanoyl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA,
CC       succinyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA cannot act as substrates.
CC   -!- The oxygen atom introduced into the product, phenylglyoxylyl-CoA,
CC       is derived from water and not molecular oxygen.
CC   -!- Duroquinone, menaquinone and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) can
CC       act as acceptor, but the likely physiological acceptor is ubiquinone.
CC   -!- A second enzyme, EC 3.1.2.25 converts the phenylglyoxylyl-CoA formed
CC       into phenylglyoxylate.
