CARRILLO-CAMPOS, Javier. Structure and function of Rieske/mononuclear oxygenases. TIP [online]. 2019, vol.22, e196.  Epub 04-Mar-2020. ISSN 1405-888X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fesz.23958723e.2019.0.196.

Rieske/mononuclear oxygenases are a group of metalloenzymes that catalyzes the oxidation of a diversity of compounds, it is noteworthy their ability to oxidize contaminant xenobiotic compounds, these enzymes also take part in the biosynthesis of some commercial valuable products. They have a broad substrate specificity that makes them a group of enzymes with a high biotechnological potential that has not been exploited to date. The present review analyzes general aspects of the structure and function of this important group of enzymes.

Palavras-chave : oxygenases; structure-function; metalloenzymes; functional plasticity; Rieske center.
