1 The dual specificity considered here is typified by the oxygenation of arachidonic acid by the reticulocyte lipoxygenase: two chiral products are formed (12S- and 15S-hydroperoxides, ratio approximately 1:9) via hydrogen abstraction from two separate methylene groups (C-10 and C-13). Hydrogen linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase-4 Glycine max
