甲烷单加氧酶的研究进展

摘要

甲烷氧化细菌在转化甲烷制造新型燃料、单细胞蛋白和新功能酶生产、污水处理等方面有着潜在的应用前景，因此，甲烷单加氧酶作为其代谢过程中重要的酶系也受到人们的广泛关注。我们简要综述了近年来对甲烷单加氧酶的性质、结构、催化机理等方面的研究，特别是对颗粒性甲烷单加氧酶的相关性质进行了详细的阐述。%Methane monooxygenase has wide potential application in catalytic action of methane, production of single cell protein and functional enzyme, treatment of sewage. Therefore, methane monooxygenase which plays im⁃portant role in the methane metabolic process has been paid much more attention by the researchers. In this pa⁃per, the latest progresses in studies of methane monooxygenase were reviewed, including peculiarity, structure, cata⁃lytic mechanism. Function of particulate methane monooxygenase was detailed discussed especially.
