Structural Insights into Diversity and n-Alkane Biodegradation Mechanisms of Alkane Hydroxylases
Environmental microbes utilize four degradation pathways for the oxidation of n-alkanes. Although the enzymes degrading n-alkanes in different microbes may vary, enzymes functioning in the first step in the aerobic degradation of alkanes all belong to the alkane hydroxylases. Alkane hydroxylases are...
