In enzymology a benzoate 12-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionbenzoate + NADH + H+ + O2 12-dihydroxycyclohexa-35-diene-1-carboxylate + NAD+The 4 substrates of this enzyme are benzoate NADH H+ and O2 whereas its two products are 12-dihydroxycyclohexa-35-diene-1-carboxylate and NAD+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
