A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.13.25

Accepted Name
Methane monooxygenase (soluble).
Alternative Name(s)
Methane hydroxylase.
Reaction catalysed
Methane + NAD(P)H + O(2) <=> methanol + NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is soluble, in contrast to the particulate enzyme, EC 1.14.18.3.
  • Broad specificity; many alkanes can be hydroxylated, and alkenes are converted into the corresponding epoxides; CO is oxidized to CO(2), ammonia is oxidized to hydroxylamine, and some aromatic compounds and cyclic alkanes can also be hydroxylated, but more slowly.
