In plants, a major enzyme acts as a member of this class, rather than as its usual carboxylase, during photorespiration; that enzyme catalyzes the first step in carbon fixation and is called RuBisCO.
One of this class of enzyme is required for the metabolism of naphthalene in Pseudomonas bacteria. One example of these produces retinal from beta-carotene, while another cleaves heme to form biliverdin. One member of this class, H37Rv, is inhibited by the tuberculosis drugs clotronazole and econazole; most cytochrome P450 enzymes like H37Rv are members of this class. This class also includes a group of enzymes that convert arachidonic acid to an eicosanoid and are inhibited by substances such as naproxen and aspirin, which inhibits one that is necessary for the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane. That group is the "cyclo-" type of this class of enzyme, which also has a "mono-" variety. In plants, a major enzyme acts as a member of this class, rather than as its usual carboxylase, during photorespiration; that enzyme catalyzes the first step in carbon fixation and is called RuBisCO. For 10 points, name this class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of part or all of a molecule of O2.
