KEGG   ENZYME: 1.14.13.25
Entry
EC 1.14.13.25               Enzyme                                 
Name
methane monooxygenase (soluble);
methane hydroxylase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
Sysname
methane,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
methane + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = methanol + NAD(P)+ + H2O [RN:R01142 R01143]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
methane [CPD:C01438];
NADH [CPD:C00004];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product
methanol [CPD:C00132];
NAD+ [CPD:C00003];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
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.
