title: Aryl monooxygenase: a detoxifying enzyme from Candida pulcherrima MCMY2.
abstract: Characterization of partially purified aryl monooxygenase (1:14:14:1) from Candida pulcherrima MCMY2 was achieved using standard purification protocol. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 110 kDa and contained 3 subunits with pI 5.7, 7.4 and 7.6. The activity seemed to be related with pulcherrimin. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 6.8 and 30 degrees C respectively. Activity was not substrate specific and Fe3+ FAD and NADH+ enhanced the activity substantially.
