In enzymology a mandelate 4-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.16.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 (S)-4-hydroxymandelate + dihydrobiopterin + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate tetrahydrobiopterin and O2 whereas its 3 products are (S)-4-hydroxymandelate dihydrobiopterin 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.
