In enzymology a L-lysine 6-monooxygenase (NADPH) (EC 1.14.13.59) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-lysine + NADPH + H+ + O2 N6-hydroxy-L-lysine + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are L-lysine NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are N6-hydroxy-L-lysine 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.
