Other name(s): tecB (gene name)
Systematic name: (1R,2R)-3-chlorocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: This bacterial enzyme can transform various dihydrodiols of chlorobenzenes into the respective catechols, including the dihydrodiols of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-chlorinated benzenes. It also accepts the dihydrodiols of various chlorotoluenes. Substrates for the enzyme are generated by the broad spectrum EC 1.14.12.26, chlorobenzene dioxygenase.
