 Lysine 2-monooxygenase

In enzymology, a lysine 2-monooxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-lysine and O2, whereas its 3 products are 5-aminopentanamide, CO2, and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
