| Official Name |
|---|
| Alkanal monooxygenase (FMN-linked).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Aldehyde monooxygenase. |
| Bacterial luciferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| RCHO + reduced FMN + O(2) <=> RCOOH + FMN + H(2)O + light |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The reaction involves incorporation of a molecule of oxygen into
reduced FMN, and subsequent reaction with the aldehyde to form an
activated FMN.H(2)O complex which breaks down with emission of light.
- The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN, and for long-chain
aliphatic aldehydes with 8 carbons or more.
