ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.99.2
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Ethylbenzene hydroxylase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Ethylbenzene + H(2)O + acceptor <=> (S)-1-phenylethanol + reduced acceptor |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Heme; Iron-sulfur; Mo-molybdopterin.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Involved in the anaerobic catabolism of ethylbenzene by denitrifying
bacteria.
- Ethylbenzene is the preferred substrate; the enzyme from some strains
oxidizes propylbenzene, 1-ethyl-4-fluorobenzene, 3-methylpent-2-ene
and ethylidenecyclohexane.
- Toluene is not oxidized.
- p-benzoquinone or ferrocenium can act as electron acceptor.
