Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase (, ''benzoyl-CoA dioxygenase/reductase'', ''BoxBA'', ''BoxA/BoxB system'') is an
enzyme with
systematic name ''benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-hydroxylating)''.
This enzyme
catalyses the following
chemical reaction
:
benzoyl-CoA + NADPH + H
+ + O
2 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA + NADP
