EC 1.14.13.25 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.14.13.25

Accepted name

methane monooxygenase (soluble)

Reaction

methane + NAD(P)H + H⁺ + O₂ = methanol + NAD(P)⁺ + H₂O

Other name(s)

methane hydroxylase

Systematic name

methane,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)

CAS registry number

51961-97-8

Comment

The enzyme is soluble, in contrast to the particulate enzyme, EC 1.14.18.3. Broad specificity; many alkanes can be hydroxylated, and alkenes are converted into the corresponding epoxides; CO is oxidized to CO₂, ammonia is oxidized to hydroxylamine, and some aromatic compounds and cyclic alkanes can also be hydroxylated, but more slowly.
