In enzymology a tryptophan 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.13.12.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-tryptophan + O2 (indol-3-yl)acetamide + CO2 + H2OThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-tryptophan and O2 whereas its 3 products are (indol-3-yl)acetamide 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).
