Reaction: (+)-larreatricin + reduced acceptor + O2 = (+)-3'-hydroxylarreatricin + acceptor + H2O
Glossary: (+)-larreatricin = 4,4'-[(2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dimethyltetrahydrofuran-2,5-diyl]bisphenol
Systematic name: (+)-larreatricin:oxygen 3'-hydroxylase
Comments: Isolated from the plant Larrea tridentata (creosote bush). The enzyme has a strong preference for the 3' position of (+)-larreatricin.
