In enzymology a flavonol synthase (EC 1.14.11.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the following chemical reaction :dihydroflavonol + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 a flavonol + succinate + CO2 + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are dihydroflavonol 2-oxoglutarate and O2 whereas its 4 products are flavonol succinate CO2 and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
