ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.77

Accepted Name
phenylacetonitrile alpha-monooxygenase
Alternative Name(s)
CYP3201B1
Reaction catalysed
O2 + phenylacetonitrile + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = (R)-mandelonitrile + H(+) + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme has been characterized from the cyanogenic millipede Chamberlinius hualienensis.
  • Unlike plant enzymes that can catalyze this reaction (EC 1.14.14.44), this enzyme cannot act on phenylacetaldehyde oximes.
  • It can accept (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile, (2-methylphenyl)acetonitrile, and (3-methylphenyl)acetonitrile as substrates at a lower rate.
