Carotenoid oxygenase molecule. Computer model showing the structure of apocarotenoid-cleaving oxygenase (blue) with a carotenoid molecule (green), two water molecules (red) and an iron ion (orange). This enzyme, an oxygenase, plays a role in the production and metabolism of retinal and other apocarotenoids. Retinal is the chemical basis of vision in animals.
