ENGINEERING NON-HEME MONO- AND DIOXYGENASES FOR BIOCATALYSIS
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2012 Oxygenases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the introduction of one or two oxygen atoms to unreactive chemical compounds. They require reduction equivalents from NADH or NADPH and comprise metal ions, metal ion complexes, or coenzymes in their active

Conservation of the unusual dimeric JmjC fold of JMJD7 from Drosophila melanogaster to humans
Scientific Reports, 2022 The JmjC family of 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases catalyse a range of hydroxylation and demethylation reactions in humans and other animals. Jumonji domain-containing 7 (JMJD7) is a JmjC (3S)-lysyl-hydroxylase that catalyses the modification of ...

Structural basis for divergent C–H hydroxylation selectivity in two Rieske oxygenases
Nature Communications, 2020 Rieske oxygenases are iron-dependent enzymes that catalyse C–H mono- and dihydroxylation reactions. Here, the authors characterise two cyanobacterial Rieske oxygenases, SxtT and GxtA that are involved in the biosynthesis of paralytic shellfish toxins and

Carnitine metabolism to trimethylamine by an unusual Rieske-type oxygenase from human microbiota [PDF]
, 2014 Dietary intake of L-carnitine can promote cardiovascular diseases in humans through microbial production of trimethylamine (TMA) and its subsequent oxidation to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases.
