Comments
This enzyme is homologous to the counterpart enzyme (S00187 in EzCatDB). The structure of the N-terminal domain has not been determined yet.
According to the literature [9], [18] & [19], this enzyme seems to catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Oxygenation by O2
(B) Deoxygenation to release H2O2
(C) Additive double-bond deformation by H2O (or hydration)
