title: Oxidation of low molecular weight chloroalkanes by cytochrome P450CAM.
abstract: Cytochrome P450CAM from Pseudomonas putida G786 oxidized chlorinated ethanes and 1,2-dichloropropane. The rate of NADH oxidation decreased with decreasing chlorine substitution. The single detectable oxidation products of 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 1,2-dichloropropane were 1,1,1-trichloroethanol and chloroacetone, respectively. Organic product formation was largely uncoupled from NADH oxidation.
