Caffeine dehydrogenase

Caffeine dehydrogenase, commonly referred to in scientific literature as caffeine oxidase, (EC 1.17.5.2) is an enzyme with the systematic name caffeine:ubiquinone oxidoreductase. The enzyme is most well known for its ability to directly oxidize caffeine, a type of methylxanthine, to trimethyluric acid. Caffeine dehydrogenase can be found in bacterium Pseudomonas sp. CBB1 and in several species within the genera Alcaligenes, Rhodococcus, and Klebsiella.
