2,4-dinitroanisole methanol hydrolase
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Nocardioides sp. JS1661, is involved in the degradation of 2,4-dinitroanisole. Unlike other known O-demethylases, such as EC 1.14.99.15, 4-methoxybenzoate monooxygenase (O-demethylating), or EC 1.14.11.32, codeine 3-O-demethylase, it does not require oxygen or electron donors, and produces methanol rather than formaldehyde.
