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.

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