WHAT DOES OXYGENASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Oxygenase

An oxygenase is any enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring the oxygen from molecular oxygen O2 to it. The oxygenases form a class of oxidoreductases; their EC number is EC 1.13 or EC 1.14. Oxygenases were discovered in 1955 simultaneously by two groups, Osamu Hayaishi from Japan and Howard S. Mason from the US. Hayaishi was awarded the 1986 Wolf Prize in Medicine "for the discovery of the oxygenase enzymes and elucidation of their structure and biological importance." There are two types of oxygenases: ▪ Monooxygenases, or mixed function oxidase, transfer one oxygen atom to the substrate, and reduce the other oxygen atom to water. ▪ Dioxygenases, or oxygen transferases, incorporate both atoms of molecular oxygen into the product of the reaction. Among the most important monooxygenases are the cytochrome P450 oxidases, responsible for breaking down numerous chemicals in the body.

Definition of oxygenase in the English dictionary

The definition of oxygenase in the dictionary is an enzyme that catalyses biochemical reactions by means of oxygen.
