This review examines the metalloenzymes that catalyze the oxidation of alkanes in the environment. The focus of the review is on what is known about the relative abundances of these metalloenzymes, their metal ion requirements, and their reaction mechanisms. The relative significance of these reactions in the global transformation of alkanes is discussed.
这篇综述考察了在环境中催化烷烃氧化的金属酶。综述的重点是了解这些金属酶的相对丰度、它们对金属离子的需求以及它们的反应机制。讨论了这些反应在烷烃全球转化中的相对重要性。
