Sysname
nitroalkane:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
a nitroalkane + H2O + O2 = an aldehyde or ketone + nitrite + H2O2 [RN:
R10388 R10389 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
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
1.13.12.16 , nitronate monooxygenase, in that the preferred substrates are neutral nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates [4].
