With incorporation of two atoms of oxygen
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
isoeugenol:oxygen 7,8-oxidoreductase (bond-cleaving)
Reaction(IUBMB)
isoeugenol + O2 = vanillin + acetaldehyde [RN:
R12302 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Contains iron(II). The enzyme, charcterised from the bacteria Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas nitroreducens, catalyses the epoxidation of the double bond in the side chain of isoeugenol, followed by a second oxygenation and cleavage of the side chain in the form of acetaldehyde.
