In enzymology a terephthalate 12-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionterephthalate + NADH + H+ + O2 (1R6S)-dihydroxycyclohexa-24-diene-14-dicarboxylate + NAD+The 4 substrates of this enzyme are terephthalate NADH H+ and O2 whereas its two products are (1R6S)-dihydroxycyclohexa-24-diene-14-dicarboxylate 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.
