Chlorite O2-lyase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a chlorite O2-lyase (EC 1.13.11.49) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

chloride + O₂ chlorite

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are chloride and O₂, whereas its product is chlorite.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O₂ as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O₂. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chloride:oxygen oxidoreductase.
