| Comment(s) |
|---|
- In the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, the nucleophilic species
that attacks the carbonyl group is a peroxyflavin intermediate that
is generated by reaction of the enzyme-bound flavin cofactor with
NAD(P)H and oxygen.
- This enzyme is able to catalyze a wide range of oxidative reactions,
including enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger reactions, sulfoxidations,
amine oxidations and epoxidations.
