In enzymology a 2-nitrophenol 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-nitrophenol + NADPH + H+ + O2 catechol + nitrite + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are 2-nitrophenol NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 4 products are catechol nitrite NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
