Reaction: butan-1-ol + a quinone = butanal + a quinol
Other name(s): BOH
Systematic name: butan-1-ol:quinone oxidoreductase
Comments: This periplasmic quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase, characterized from the bacterium Thauera butanivorans, is involved in butane degradation. It contains a pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) prosthetic group. cf. EC 1.1.2.9, 1-butanol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c).
