DE   phenylalanine N-monooxygenase.
AN   CYP79A2.
AN   CYP79D16.
AN   phenylalanine N-hydroxylase.
CA   L-phenylalanine + 2 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 2 O2 = (E)-
CA   phenylacetaldehyde oxime + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] +
CA   CO2 + 3 H2O + 2 H(+).
CC   -!- This enzyme, found in plants, catalyzes two successive
CC       N-hydroxylations of L-phenylalanine, a committed step in the
CC       biosynthesis of benzylglucosinolate and the cyanogenic glucosides
CC       (R)-prunasin and (R)-amygdalin.
CC   -!- The product of the two hydroxylations, N,N-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine,
CC       is labile and undergoes dehydration followed by decarboxylation,
CC       producing an oxime.
CC   -!- It is still not known whether the decarboxylation is spontaneous or
CC       catalyzed by the enzyme.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.14.13.124 and EC 1.14.13.n1.
