DE   phenylacetone monooxygenase.
AN   PAMO.
CA   H(+) + NADPH + O2 + phenylacetone = benzyl acetate + H2O + NADP(+).
CC   -!- NADH cannot replace NADPH as cosubstrate.
CC   -!- In addition to phenylacetone, which is the best substrate found to
CC       date, this Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase can oxidize other aromatic
CC       ketones [1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-one, 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-
CC       2-one and 3-phenylbutan-2-one], some alipatic ketones (e.g. dodecan-
CC       2-one) and sulfides (e.g. 1-methyl-4-(methylsulfanyl)benzene).
