Fe(II) recycling of α-KG–dependent dioxygenases. The catalytic activity of α-KG dioxygenases utilizes oxygen for the decarboxylation of α-KG and oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(IV), rendering the enzyme inactive. Vitamin C can be used to regenerate iron back to the Fe(II) state, thus restoring catalytic activity.
