The four substrates of this enzyme are phenylacetone, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are benzyl acetate, oxidised NADP+, and water.[1][2]
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.[3] The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylacetone,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called PAMO.
