Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
This plant cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) enzyme is involved in methionine-derived aliphatic glucosinolates biosynthesis. It catalyses two successive N-hydroxylations, which are followed by dehydration and decarboxylation. CYP79F1 from Arabidopsis thaliana can metabolize mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexahomomethionine to their corresponding aldoximes, while CYP79F2 from the same plant can only metabolize penta- and hexahomomethionine.
