| EC Number | 4.1.99.5 |
| CAS Registry Number | 94185-90-7 |
| Comments | Contains a diiron center. Involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes. The enzyme from the cyanobacterium?Nostoc punctiforme?PCC 73102 is only active?in vitro?in the presence of ferredoxin, ferredoxin reductase and NADPH, and produces mostly C15?to C17?alkanes [2]. The enzyme from pea (Pisum sativum) produces alkanes of chain length C18?to C32?and is inhibited by metal-chelating agents [1]. The substrate for this enzyme is formed by EC?1.2.1.80, acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] reductase. |
