Comments
This enzyme is composed of flavoprotein subunit and cytochrome c subunit with a heme group.
According to the literature [8], [15], this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Hydride transfer from substrate, p-cresol, to flavin of FAD, forming a quinone-methide intermediate (transfer of two electrons and two protons):
(B) Electron transfer from the flavin of FAD to the heme iron of the cytochrome c subunit (2 x one electron transfer):
(C) Addition of water to the methide carbon of the quinone-methide intermediate, forming a 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (Hydroxylation):
(D) Hydride transfer from the intermediate, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, to flavin of FAD, forming a product, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (transfer of two electrons and two protons):
(E) Electron transfer from the flavin of FAD to the heme iron of the cytochrome c subunit (2 x one electron transfer):
# Electrons, transferred to the heme group, might be passed to the other substrate, "acceptor".
