Nitronate monooxygenase

Nitronate monooxygenase (, NMO) is an enzyme with systematic name nitronate:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (nitrite-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * ethylnitronate + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetaldehyde + nitrite + other products

The enzymes from the fungus Neurospora crassa and the yeast ''Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii'' contain non-covalently bound FMN as the cofactor.
