Quinoline 2-oxidoreductase

In enzymology, a quinoline 2-oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * quinoline + acceptor + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ isoquinolin-1(2H)-one + reduced acceptor

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are quinoline, acceptor, and H2O, whereas its two products are isoquinolin-1(2H)-one and reduced acceptor.

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 quinoline:acceptor 2-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating).

Structural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code.
