Pathway

I am pretty sure that either the enzyme names or the pathway itself is wrong. A dioxygenase usually does not carry out that reaction that way. A dioxygenase actually needs a double bond to act and ends up breaking the double bond to form 2 carbonyl groups (one in each carbon of the bond). Instead, it should probably be an hydroxilase (also called monoxygenase).2001:8A0:EF69:1E01:841C:DF0:63A8:6558 (talk) 19:42, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
