Quinoline 2-oxidoreductase explained

quinoline 2-oxidoreductase
Ec Number:1.3.99.17
Cas Number:132264-32-5
Go Code:0018523

In enzymology, a quinoline 2-oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

quinoline + acceptor + H2O

\rightleftharpoons

quinolin-1(2H)-one + reduced acceptor

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are quinoline, acceptor, and H2O, whereas its two products are quinolin-1(2H)-one and reduced acceptor.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is quinoline:acceptor 2-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating).

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code .
