ID   1.14.14.77
DE   phenylacetonitrile alpha-monooxygenase.
AN   CYP3201B1.
CA   O2 + phenylacetonitrile + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = (R)-
CA   mandelonitrile + H(+) + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase].
CC   -!- The enzyme has been characterized from the cyanogenic millipede
CC       Chamberlinius hualienensis.
CC   -!- Unlike plant enzymes that can catalyze this reaction (EC 1.14.14.44),
CC       this enzyme cannot act on phenylacetaldehyde oximes.
CC   -!- It can accept (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile,
CC       (2-methylphenyl)acetonitrile, and (3-methylphenyl)acetonitrile as
CC       substrates at a lower rate.
