Show
Substrate nitroalkane [CPD:C06058];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product aldehyde [CPD:C00071];
ketone [CPD:C01450];
nitrite [CPD:C00088];
H2O2 [CPD:C00027]
Comment Has an absolute requirement for FAD [4]. While nitroethane may be
the physiological substrate [2], the enzyme also acts on several
other nitroalkanes, including 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane,
1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, 1-nitrohexane, nitrocyclohexane and
some nitroalkanols [4]. Differs from EC 1.13.11.16, nitronate
monooxygenase, in that the preferred substrates are neutral
nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates [4].
