In enzymology a peptide-tryptophan 23-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionpeptide tryptophan + O2 peptide formylkynurenineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are peptide tryptophan and O2 whereas its product is peptide formylkynurenine.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).
