| Official Name |
|---|
| Chlorite O(2)-lyase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Chlorite dismutase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Chloride + O(2) <=> chlorite |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Iron; Protoheme IX.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Reaction occurs in the reverse direction in chlorate- and
perchlorate-reducing bacteria.
- There is no activity when chlorite is replaced by hydrogen peroxide,
perchlorate, chlorate or nitrite.
- The term 'chlorite dismutase' is misleading as the reaction does not
involve dismutation/disproportionation.
