Short description: Class of enzymes

Methanesulfonate monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.111, mesylate monooxygenase, mesylate,reduced-FMN:oxygen oxidoreductase, MsmABCD, methanesulfonic acid monooxygenase, MSA monooxygenase, MSAMO) is an enzyme with systematic name methanesulfonate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

methanesulfonate + NADH + H+ + O2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] formaldehyde + NAD+ + sulfite + H2O

Methanesulfonate monooxygenase is a flavoprotein.
