Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
an aromatic amine + 3 NADP+ + 2 H2O = an aromatic nitrate + 3 NADPH + 3 H+ the enzyme catalysis obeys the ping-pong Bi-Bi kinetic mechanism with substrate FMN as well as substrate nitrofurazone, but upon coupling with the bioluminescent reaction of luciferase, it changes to the sequential mechanism Bacillus subtilis

additional information the enzyme reduces both nitrofurazone and FMN effectively, see for EC 1.5.1.38, it is bifunctional as flavin reductase and nitroreductase. Two different FMN molecules are involved in the FMN reduction process: FMN tightly associated to the enzyme as prosthetic group and FMN as a substrate. The enzyme is also active with FAD, riboflavin, and lumiflavin, the two latter give the highest activity Bacillus subtilis ?
