L-phenylalanine:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)

L-phenylalanine + O2 = 2-phenylacetamide + CO2 + H2O [RN:R00690]

R00690

L-phenylalanine [CPD:C00079];
O2 [CPD:C00007]

The reaction shown above is about 80% of the reaction catalysed; the remaining 20% is: L-phenylalanine + O2 + H2O = 3-phenylpyruvic acid + ammonia + H2O2 a reaction similar to that of EC 1.4.3.2, L-amino-acid oxidase.

EC 1.13.12.9 created 1986, modified 2003
