From: The influence of microbial physiology on biocatalyst activity and efficiency in the terminal hydroxylation of n-octane using Escherichia coli expressing the alkane hydroxylase, CYP153A6

Figure 1

The schematic representation of the various reactions of the alkane hydroxylase protein (CYP153A6) and its electron transfer system within a whole cell. The ferrodoxin reductase (FdR) transfers electrons from NAD(P)H through a small electron transfer protein, ferrodoxin (FdX), to the hydroxylase protein CYP153A6 for the oxidation of the alkane substrate to its alcohol equivalent.
