Benzoyl-CoA reductase
In enzymology, a benzoyl-CoA reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 4 substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA, reduced acceptor, ATP, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, acceptor, ADP, and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase . This enzyme is also called benzoyl-CoA reductase . This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation. It has 2 cofactors: manganese, and Magnesium.
