| Accepted name: |
3-aci-nitropropanoate oxidase |
| Reaction: |
3-aci-nitropropanoate + O2 + H2O = 3-oxopropanoate + nitrite + H2O2 |
| Other name(s): |
propionate-3-nitronate oxidase |
| Systematic name: |
3-aci-nitropropanoate:oxygen oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
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. |
