ID   1.13.11.32
DE   2-nitropropane dioxygenase.
AN   2-NPD.
AN   Nitroalkane oxidase.
CA   2 2-nitropropane + O(2) = 2 acetone + 2 nitrite.
CF   FAD or FMN.
CC   -!- While the enzyme from the fungus Neurospora crassa contains non-
CC       covalently bound FMN as the cofactor, that from the yeast Williopsis
CC       mrakii contains FAD.
CC   -!- Differs from EC 1.7.3.1 in that the preferred substrates are anionic
CC       nitronates rather than neutral nitroalkanes.
CC   -!- Has broad substrate specificity that is independent of substrate
CC       size.
CC   -!- Some other nitroalkanes, including nitroethane, 1-nitropropane and
CC       3-nitropentan-2-ol, can act as donors, but more slowly.
