BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
nicotine:acceptor 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(S)-nicotine + acceptor + H2O = (S)-6-hydroxynicotine + reduced acceptor [RN:
R02860 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
(S)-6-hydroxynicotine [CPD:
C01056 ];
reduced acceptor [CPD:
C00030 ]
Comment
A metalloprotein (FMN). The enzyme can act on both the naturally found (S)-enantiomer and the synthetic (R)-enantiomer of nicotine, with retention of configuration in both cases [4].
