| Official Name |
| Flavonol synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Flavonoid 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. |
| FLS. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| A dihydroflavonol + 2-oxoglutarate + O(2) <=> a flavonol + succinate + CO(2) + H(2)O |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Iron.
|
| Comment(s) |
| In addition to the desaturation of (2R,3R)-dihydroflavonols to
flavonols, the enzyme from the satsuma Citrus unshiu also has a non-
specific activity that trans-hydroxylates the flavanones
(2S)-naringenin and the unnatural (2R)-naringenin at C-3 to
kaempferol and (2R,3R)-dihydrokaempferol, respectively.
