:protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase from*pseudomonas
Description:
Protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria, including species of Pseudomonas, that plays a crucial role in the degradation of aromatic compounds. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of protocatechuate, a derivative of benzoic acid, by incorporating molecular oxygen into the substrate. The reaction results in the formation of 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate, which is an important intermediate in the catabolic pathway for aromatic compounds. Characteristically, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase exhibits a high specificity for its substrate and requires iron as a cofactor for its activity. The enzyme is typically found in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells and is part of a larger metabolic network that enables bacteria to utilize aromatic compounds as carbon sources. Its activity is influenced by various factors, including pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Understanding this enzyme is significant for bioremediation applications and the development of biocatalysts for industrial processes involving aromatic compounds.

Protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase from pseudomonas sp.
CAS:<p>Protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase is a bacterial enzyme, which is sourced from Pseudomonas sp. This enzyme operates by catalyzing the cleavage of aromatic rings in protocatechuate, a derivative of catechol. Its mode of action involves the incorporation of oxygen into protocatechuate, resulting in the formation of beta-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate. This reaction is crucial for the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds, thereby playing a significant role in the biodegradation pathways of lignin-derived aromatic pollutants.</p>Purity:Min. 95%
