In enzymology an alkanesulfonate monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionan alkanesulfonate (R-CH2-SO3H) + FMNH2 + O2 an aldehyde (R-CHO) + FMN + sulfite + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are alkanesulfonate (R-CH2-SO3H) FMNH2 and O2 whereas its 4 products are aldehyde FMN sulfite 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.
