Results: The oxidative half-reaction was studied using transient kinetics. The enzyme reaction mechanism was elucidated. Conclusion: The product release and the hydroxylation limit the turnovers and the enzyme shows characteristics different from the ortho-hydroxylation enzymes. Significance: This is the first report on the oxygenation mechanism of a para-hydroxylating flavoenzyme. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyThe reaction kinetics of 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase from rhodococcus jostii RHA1 provide an understanding of the para-hydroxylation enzyme catalytic cycleArticleSCOPUS10.1074/jbc.M113.515205
