2-Nitropropane dioxygenase is a flavoprotein: the Neurospora crassa enzyme carries non-covalently bound FMN, the Williopsis mrakii enzyme FAD. Unlike nitroalkane oxidase (EC 1.7.3.1), its preferred substrates are anionic nitronates rather than neutral nitroalkanes; it oxygenates the nitronate to the corresponding carbonyl and nitrite.
