Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.14.14.3
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
a long-chain aldehyde + FMNH2 + O2 = a long-chain fatty acid + FMN + H2O + hν
Systematic Name
long-chain-aldehyde,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)
Function
The reaction sequence starts with the incorporation of a molecule of oxygen into reduced FMN bound to the enzyme, forming luciferase peroxyflavin. The peroxyflavin interacts with an aliphatic long-chain aldehyde, producing a highly fluorescent species believed to be luciferase hydroxyflavin. The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN and for long-chain aliphatic aldehydes with eight carbons or more. The highest efficiency is achieved with tetradecanal. cf. EC 1.13.12.18, dinoflagellate luciferase.
