| Accepted name: |
lignostilbene αβ-dioxygenase |
| Reaction: |
1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene + O2 = 2 vanillin |
| Systematic name: |
1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene:oxygen oxidoreductase (αβ-bond-cleaving) |
| Comments: |
An iron protein. The enzyme catalyses oxidative cleavage of the interphenyl double bond in the synthetic substrate and lignin-derived stilbenes. It is responsible for the degradation of a diarylpropane-type structure in lignin. |
