In enzymology a naphthalene 12-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionnaphthalene + NADH + H+ + O2 (1R2S)-12-dihydronaphthalene-12-diol + NAD+The 4 substrates of this enzyme are naphthalene NADH H+ and O2 whereas its two products are (1R2S)-12-dihydronaphthalene-12-diol 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.
