Can flavoprotein monooxygenases functionalize long-chain n-alkanes?
PLoS ONELong-chain n-alkane functionalization is relevant for industrial and environmental applications, but it remains a significant challenge due to the inherent stability of their covalent bonds. Biocatalytic approaches offer promising strategies due to their

Product Repression of Alkane Monooxygenase Expression in Pseudomonas butanovora [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2006 ABSTRACT Physiological and regulatory mechanisms that allow the alkane-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas butanovora to consume C 2 to C 8 alkane substrates via butane monooxygenase (BMO) were examined.

Butane monooxygenase of ‘Pseudomonas butanovora’: purification and biochemical characterization of a terminal-alkane hydroxylating diiron monooxygenase [PDF]
Microbiology, 2007 Butane monooxygenase (sBMO) has been purified to homogeneity from the Gram-negative beta-proteobacterium 'Pseudomonas butanovora' and confirmed to be a three-component diiron monooxygenase system. The reconstituted enzyme complex oxidized C(3)-C(6) linear and branched aliphatic alkanes, which are growth substrates for 'P. butanovora'.

Alkane monooxygenase study by molecular modelling techniques
, 2022 Abstract Biodiesel biodegradation has been a limiting factor for its use as an alternative for petrol diesel. Thanks to low structural complexity, a group of enzymes such as alkane monooxygenase (ladA) can readily degrade several fatty acids, but the understanding of the mechanism of degradation is unclear yet.
