Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase

UniProtKB accession:  A7HU16

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction, i.e. the insertion of an oxygen atom into a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters or lactones using NADPH as an electron donor. Besides cycloalkanones, can use cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones as substrates, leading to enol-lactones. Can also act on methylated cycloalkanones and methylated cycloalkenones with high enantioselectivity in some cases.
