Psoralen synthase

In enzymology, a psoralen synthase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(+)-marmesin + NADPH + H<sup>+</sup> + O<sub>2</sub> psoralen + NADP<sup>+</sup> + acetone + 2 H<sub>2</sub>O

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are (+)-marmesin, NADPH, H<sup>+</sup>, and O<sub>2</sub>, whereas its 4 products are psoralen, NADP<sup>+</sup>, acetone, and H<sub>2</sub>O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O<sub>2</sub> as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O<sub>2</sub> with NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into the other donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (?). This enzyme is also called CYP71AJ1.
