ENTRY       EC 1.14.14.3
NAME        Alkanal monooxygenase (FMN-linked)
            Aldehyde monooxygenase
            Bacterial luciferase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen
            With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and
            incorporation of one atom of oxygen
SYSNAME     Alkanal, reduced-FMN:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating,
            luminescing).
REACTION    RCHO + Reduced FMN + O2 = RCOOH + FMN + H2O + hv
SUBSTRATE   RCHO
            Reduced FMN
            O2
PRODUCT     RCOOH
            FMN
            H2O
            hv
COMMENT     The rection sequence involves incorporation of a molecule of
            oxygen into reduced FMN, and subsequent reaction with the
            aldehyde to form an activated FMN. H2O 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.
