Ascorbate as a cofactor for Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenases: physiological activity in tumour growth and progression
Ascorbate is a specific cofactor for a large family of enzymes known as the Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. These enzymes are found throughout biology and catalyse the addition of a hydroxyl group to various substrates. The proline hydroxylase that is involved in collagen maturation...
