Abstract

Abstract: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase BM-3 (EC 1.14. 14.1) hydroxylates fatty acids with chain lengths between C12 and C18. It is also known to oxidize the corresponding alcohols and amides. However, it is not known to oxidize alkanes. Here we report that P450 BM-3 oxidizes octane, which is four carbons shorter and lacks the carboxylate functionality of the shortest fatty acid P450 BM-3 is known to accept, to 4-octanol, 3-octanol, 2-octanol, ...
