In collaboration with the group of Prof. Dr. A. Mattevi (Pavia, Italy) we have recently
solved the structure of this thermostable Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase by X-ray
crystallography, representing the first crystal structure of a Baeyer-Villiger
monooxygenase (Malito et al., 2004a). As PAMO shows significant sequence homology
to known Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, e.g. cyclohexanone monooxygenase, this
structure can be exploited as prototype structure for future studies.
