ENTRY       EC 1.7.3.5
NAME        3-aci-Nitropropanoate oxidase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors
            With oxygen as acceptor
SYSNAME     3-aci-Nitropropanoate:oxygen oxidoreductase
REACTION    3-aci-Nitropropanoate + O2 = 3-Oxopropanoate + Nitrite + H2O2
SUBSTRATE   3-aci-Nitropropanoate
            O2
PRODUCT     3-Oxopropanoate
            Nitrite
            H2O2
COFACTOR    FMN
COMMENT     A flavoprotein (FMN).  The primary products of the enzymic
            reaction are probably the nitropropanoate free radical and
            superoxide.  Also acts, more slowly, on 4-aci-nitrobutanoate.
