Class of enzymes


(+)-Camphor 6-endo-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.15.10, P450camr) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-camphor,reduced putidaredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-endo-hydroxylating).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(+)-camphor + reduced putidaredoxin + O2 (+)-6-endo-hydroxycamphor + oxidized putidaredoxin + H2O

Camphor 6-endo-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from the bacterium Rhodococcus sp. NCIMB 9784.
