Chlorite O2-lyase (EC 1.13.11.49) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionCl- + O2 ClO2−Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are chloride ion and oxygen whereas its product is chlorite.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). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2.
