Aromatic hydrocarbon dioxygenases in environmental biotechnology

D T Gibson et al. Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

Aromatic hydrocarbon dioxygenases belong to a large family of Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases. The dioxygenases have a broad substrate specificity and catalyze enantiospecific reactions with a wide range of substrates. These characteristics make them attractive synthons for the production of industrially and medically important chiral chemicals and also provide essential information for the development of bioremediation technology.
