ID   3.3.2.8
DE   limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase.
AN   limonene oxide hydrolase.
CA   H2O + limonene 1,2-epoxide = limonene-1,2-diol.
CC   -!- Involved in the monoterpene degradation pathway of the actinomycete
CC       Rhodococcus erythropolis.
CC   -!- The enzyme hydrolyzes several alicyclic and 1-methyl-substituted
CC       epoxides, such as 1-methylcyclohexene oxide, indene oxide and
CC       cyclohexene oxide.
CC   -!- It differs from the previously described epoxide hydrolases
CC       (EC 3.3.2.4, EC 3.3.2.6, EC 3.3.2.7, EC 3.3.2.9 and EC 3.3.2.10) as
CC       it is not inhibited by 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone, diethyl
CC       pyrocarbonate, 4-fluorochalcone oxide or 1,10-phenanthroline.
