Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase

Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase (, dimethylsulfide monooxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethyl sulfide,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * dimethyl sulfide + O2 + NADH + H+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ methanethiol + formaldehyde + NAD+ + H2O

Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase has lower activity with diethyl sulfide and other short-chain alkyl methyl sulfides.
