In enzymology a cyclopentanone monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactioncyclopentanone + NADPH + H+ + O2 5-valerolactone + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are cyclopentanone NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are 5-valerolactone 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.
