ENTRY       EC 1.7.99.6
NAME        Nitrous-oxide reductase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors
            With other acceptors
SYSNAME     Nitrogen:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (N2O-forming)
REACTION    Nitrogen + H2O + Acceptor = Nitrous oxide + Reduced acceptor
SUBSTRATE   Nitrogen
            H2O
            Acceptor
PRODUCT     Nitrous oxide
            Reduced acceptor
            Viologen
            Methylene blue
COFACTOR    Copper
COMMENT     A copper protein. Reduced viologens or methylene blue act as
            donors for the reduction of nitrous oxide.
