Class of enzymes
In enzymology, a benzene 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
benzene + NADH + H+ + O2 cis-cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol + NAD+
The 4 substrates of this enzyme are benzene, NADH, H+, and O2, whereas its two products are cis-cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol and NAD+.
