In enzymology a salicylate 1-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionsalicylate + NADH + 2 H+ + O2 catechol + NAD+ + H2O + CO2The 4 substrates of this enzyme are salicylate NADH H+ and O2 whereas its 4 products are catechol NAD+ H2O and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
