Acireductone dioxygenase [iron(II)-requiring] (EC 1.13.11.54) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction12-dihydroxy-5-(methylthio)pent-1-en-3-one + O2 4-(methylthio)-2-oxobutanoate + formateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 12-dihydroxy-5-(methylthio)pent-1-en-3-one and oxygen whereas its two products are 4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate and formate.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).
