Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.21, benzoyl-CoA dioxygenase/reductase, BoxBA, BoxA/BoxB system) is an enzyme with systematic name benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
benzoyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ + O2
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA + NADP+
Benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase is involved in aerobic benzoate metabolism in Azoarcus evansii.
