phenylalanine 2-monooxygenase;
L-phenylalanine oxidase (deaminating and decarboxylating);
phenylalanine (deaminating, decarboxylating)oxidase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen (oxygenases);
With incorporation of one atom of oxygen (internal monooxygenases or internal mixed-function oxidases)
The reaction shown above is about 80% of the reaction catalysed; the remaining 20% is: L-phenylalanine + O2 + H2O = 3-phenylpyruvic acid + ammonia + H2O2 a reaction similar to that of EC 1.4.3.2, L-amino-acid oxidase.
A simple and rapid enzymatic determination of L-phenylalanine with a novel L-phenylalanine oxidase (deaminating and decarboxylating) from Pseudomonas sp. P-501.
