NCIt definition : Enzymes that oxidize substrates through transfer of oxygen from molecular oxygen.;
NCIt note : Oxygenases include enzymes in EC 1.13 and EC 1.14 and encompass both monooxygenases
(mixed function oxidases), which transfer one oxygen atom to the substrate and reduce
the other oxygen atom to water, and dioxygenases, which transfer both atoms of molecular
oxygen to the substrate.;
