ENTRY       EC 1.13.11.32
NAME        2-Nitropropane dioxygenase
            Nitroalkane oxidase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen
            (oxygenases)
            With incorporation of two atoms of oxygen
SYSNAME     2-Nitropropane:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase
REACTION    2 2-Nitropropane + O2 = 2 Acetone + 2 Nitrite
SUBSTRATE   2-Nitropropane
            O2
PRODUCT     Acetone
            Nitrite
COFACTOR    Iron
COMMENT     An iron flavoprotein. Some other nitroalkanes, including
            nitroethane, 1-nitropropane and 3-nitro-2-pentanol, can act as
            donors, more slowly.
