In enzymology, toluene dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
O2 + H+
 
 
 
 
(1S,2R)-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol
+ NAD+
 

The four substrates of this enzyme are toluene, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are (1S,2R)-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol and reduced NAD+.[1][2][3]

This enzyme is an oxidoreductase, that uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporates both its atoms into the starting material. The systematic name of this enzyme class is toluene,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (1,2-hydroxylating). This enzyme is also called toluene 2,3-dioxygenase. It is an iron–sulfur protein that uses flavin adenine dinucleotide as a cofactor and participates in toluene and xylene degradation.[1]
