Results for tag: "Monooxygenase"

Monooxygenase enzymes are a class of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of organic compounds using molecular oxygen. They are involved in a wide range of metabolic processes, including the metabolism of drugs, hormones, and toxins. Monooxygenases are also important in the biodegradation of pollutants. Monooxygenases are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are classified into two main families: the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and the flavin-containing monooxygenases. The monooxygenase enzyme market is driven by the increasing demand for biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The growing demand for biocatalysts in the food and beverage industry is also expected to drive the market. The increasing demand for biocatalysts in the production of biofuels is also expected to drive the market. Some of the major companies in the monooxygenase enzyme market are Novozymes, Merck KGaA, Sigma-Aldrich, AB Enzymes, Amano Enzymes, and Advanced Enzymes. Show Less Read more
