EC 1.14.11.9     
Accepted name: flavanone 3-dioxygenase
Reaction: a (2S)-flavan-4-one + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a (2R,3R)-dihydroflavonol + succinate + CO2

Other name(s): naringenin 3-hydroxylase; flavanone 3-hydroxylase; flavanone 3β-hydroxylase; flavanone synthase I; (2S)-flavanone 3-hydroxylase; naringenin,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating); F3H; flavanone,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
Systematic name: (2S)-flavan-4-one,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
Comments: Requires Fe2+ and ascorbate. This plant enzyme catalyses an early step in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, leading to the production of flavanols and anthocyanins. Substrates include (2S)-naringenin, (2S)-eriodictyol, (2S)-dihydrotricetin and (2S)-pinocembrin. Some enzymes are bifuctional and also catalyse EC 1.14.20.6, flavonol synthase.
