ID   1.13.11.2
DE   Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase.
AN   2,3-pyrocatechase.
AN   Cato2ase.
AN   Metapyrocatechase.
CA   Catechol + O(2) = 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde.
CF   Iron.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Alcaligenes sp. strain O-1 has also been shown to
CC       catalyze the reaction: 2,3-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate + O(2) + H(2)O =
CC       2-hydroxymuconate + bisulfite and has been referred to as 2,3-
CC       dihydroxybenzenesulfonate 2,3-dioxygenase.
CC   -!- Further work will be necessary to show whether or not this is a
CC       distinct enzyme.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.13.1.2.
