 Acetylacetone-cleaving enzyme

In enzymology, an acetylacetone-cleaving enzyme () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are pentane-2,4-dione and O2, whereas its two products are acetate and 2-oxopropanal.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
