| camphor 5-monooxygenase | <enzyme> A monooxygenase haem-thiolate (cytochrome p-450) with camphor bound at the active site. It acts as the terminal monooxygenase in the d-camphor monooxygenase system. Under anaerobic conditions, this enzyme reduces the polyhalogenated compounds bound at the camphor-binding site. Additionally, it is the only cytochrome p-450 enzyme with a known crystal structure. Registry number: EC 1.14.15.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| camphor-6-exo-hydroxylase | <enzyme> A cytochrome p-450-dependent monooxygenase that catalyses the hydroxylation of camphor to 6-hydroxycamphor in sage and mycobacterium Registry number: EC 1.14.15.- (26 Jun 1999) |
