Characterization of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase, a key enzyme in polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) biodegradation

2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (DHBD[sub LB400], EC 1.13.11.39) from Burkholderia sp. LB400, the extradiol dioxygenase of the biphenyl biodegradation pathway, was investigated using a highly active, anaerobically purified preparation of enzyme. The steady-state kinetic data obtained using...
