Extracts of Methylomonas methanica catalyse the O2-and NAD(P)H-dependent disappearance of bromomethane. The activity is unstable at 2 degrees C but is stable at --70 degrees C for several weeks. Bromomethane mono-oxygenase is particulate and is inhibited by metal-binding reagents, by compounds SKF 525A and Lilly 53325, by some metal ions and by acetylene. Evidence is presented that indicates that bromomethane mono-oxygenase is the enzyme responsible for methane oxidation in vivo.
甲基单胞菌提取物催化溴甲烷依赖氧气和NAD(P)H的消失反应。该活性在2℃不稳定,但在-70℃下可稳定数周。溴甲烷单加氧酶存在于颗粒中,可被金属结合试剂、化合物SKF 525A和礼来53325、某些金属离子以及乙炔抑制。有证据表明,溴甲烷单加氧酶是体内负责甲烷氧化的酶。
