In enzymology a quercetin 23-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionquercetin + O2 2-(34-dihydroxybenzoyloxy)-46-dihydroxybenzoate + CO + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are quercetin and O2 whereas its 3 products are 2-(34-dihydroxybenzoyloxy)-46-dihydroxybenzoate CO and H+.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).
