EC 1.14.13.92 Details
EC number
1.14.13.92
Accepted name
phenylacetone monooxygenase
Reaction
phenylacetone + NADPH + H+ + O2 = benzyl acetate + NADP+ + H2O
Other name(s)
PAMO
Systematic name
phenylacetone,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
1005768-90-0
Comment
A flavoprotein (FAD). NADH cannot replace NADPH as coenzyme. In addition to phenylacetone, which is the best substrate found to date, this Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase can oxidize other aromatic ketones [1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-one, 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-one and 3-phenylbutan-2-one], some alipatic ketones (e.g. dodecan-2-one) and sulfides (e.g. 1-methyl-4-(methylsulfanyl)benzene).
