Methylamine dehydrogenase (amicyanin)

Methylamine dehydrogenase (amicyanin) (, amine dehydrogenase, primary-amine dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name methylamine:amicyanin oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:


 * methylamine + H2O + amicyanin $$\rightleftharpoons$$ formaldehyde + ammonia + reduced amicyanin

This enzyme contains tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) co-factor.
