2-nitropropane dioxygenase utilizes a branched catalytic mechanism with nitroethane as substrate. The branch point occurs at the enzyme-ethylnitronate complex and involves either the release of the nitronate or an oxidative denitrification reaction. The partitioning of the enzyme-nitronate complex results in the formation of multiple products from independent catalytic pathways with nitroethane as substrate for the enzyme. In the nonoxidative pathway, nitroethane is deprotonated by histidine 196 to generate ethylnitronate which is subsequently released from the enzyme as a reaction product. The oxidative denitrification pathway was established in previous studies of the enzyme and involves the oxidation of ethylnitronate by the enzyme bound flavin to generate acetaldehyde and nitrite as product

The kinetic isotope effect on the second-order rate constant for nitronate formation, kcat/Km, decreases from an upper limiting value of 23 at low pH to a lower limiting value of 11 at high pH. The difference in the kinetic isotope effects arises from the branching of an enzyme-ethylnitronate reaction intermediate through oxidative and nonoxidative turnover. This branching is isotope sensitive due to a kinetic isotope effect on nitronate release rather than on flavin reduction. The kinetic isotope effect on ethylnitronate release arises from the deprotonation of histidine 196, which provides electrostatic interactions with the nitronate to keep it bound in the active site for oxidation. The isotope effect on branching results in an inflation of the kinetic isotope observed for the nonoxidative pathway to values that are larger than the intrinsic values associated with C-H bond cleavage

only alkyl nitronates are used as substrates in the oxidative denitrification reaction catalyzed by Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii NMO, nitroalkanes are no substrates. The different substrate specificity compared to other NMOs might result from the presence of a His residue in the active site and conformational differences. NMO does not produce and release hydrogen peroxide during turnover with linear alkyl nitronates of various lengths between 2 and 6 carbon atoms or with propyl-2-nitronate. With the exception of propyl-2-nitronate, there is no release of superoxide during turnover of NMO at pH 8.0 and 30°C with linear alkyl nitronates with chain lengths between 2 and 6 carbon atoms
