| Comments |
The enzyme from?Pseudomonas chlororaphis?contains Ca2+?and protoheme IX, the iron of which must be in the form Fe(II) for activity. The enzyme exhibits a strong preference for aliphatic aldoximes, such as butyraldoxime and acetaldoxime, over aromatic aldoximes, such as pyridine-2-aldoxime, which is a poor substrate. No activity was found with the aromatic aldoximes benzaldoxime and pyridine-4-aldoxime. |
