In enzymology, a styrene-oxide isomerase (EC 5.3.99.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- styrene oxide [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] phenylacetaldehyde
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, styrene oxide, and one product, phenylacetaldehyde.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically a class of other intramolecular oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is styrene-oxide isomerase (epoxide-cleaving). This enzyme is also called SOI. This enzyme participates in styrene degradation and is the second step of the pathway after the epoxidation of styrene by styrene monooxygenase.
