ENTRY       EC 1.14.13.47
NAME        (-)-Limonene 3-monooxygenase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen
            With NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of
            oxygen
SYSNAME     (-)-Limonene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
REACTION    (-)-Limonene + NADPH + O2 = (-)-trans-Isopiperitenol + NADP+ + H2O
SUBSTRATE   (-)-Limonene
            NADPH
            O2
PRODUCT     (-)-trans-Isopiperitenol
            NADP+
            H2O
COFACTOR    Heme
COMMENT     High specificity, but NADH can act instead of NADPH, more slowly.
            A heme-thiolate proten (P-450).
