DE   alkene monooxygenase.
AN   alkene epoxygenase.
CA   H(+) + NADH + O2 + propene = 1,2-epoxypropane + H2O + NAD(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme from Xanthobacter sp. strain Py2 is a multicomponent
CC       enzyme comprising:
CC       (1) an NADH reductase, which provides the reductant for O2
CC       activation.
CC       (2) a Rieske-type ferredoxin, which is an electron-transfer protein.
CC       (3) an oxygenase, which contains the catalytic center for alkene
CC       epoxidation.
CC       (4) a small protein of unknown function that is essential for
CC       activity.
CC   -!- The enzyme oxygenates C2 to C6 aliphatic alkenes.
CC   -!- With propene as substrate, the stereospecificity of the epoxypropane
CC       formed is 95% (R) and 5% (S).
