Description
Has an absolute requirement for FAD. While nitroethane may be the physiological substrate, the enzyme also acts on several other nitroalkanes, including 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, 1-nitrohexane, nitrocyclohexane and some nitroalkanols. Differs from EC 1.13.11.16, nitronate monooxygenase, in that the preferred substrates are neutral nitroalkanes rather than anionic nitronates
