Class of enzymes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monocyclic monoterpene ketone monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.105, 1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene 1,2-monooxygenase, dihydrocarvone 1,2-monooxygenase, MMKMO) is an enzyme with systematic name (-)-menthone,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the several chemical reaction, for example the conversion of (â)-menthone to mentholactone:[3]

This enzyme is a flavoprotein of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase type, which uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporates one of its atoms into the starting material. It can act on a variety of monoterpene ketones and cyclohexanones.[3][4]
