Other name(s): cyclo(dipeptide):oxygen oxidoreductase; cyclic dipeptide oxidase; AlbA
Systematic name: cyclo(L-leucyl-L-phenylalanyl):oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: A flavoprotein from the bacterium Streptomyces noursei. The enzyme can also oxidize several other cyclo dipeptides, the best being cyclo(L-tryptophyl-L-tryptophyl) and cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanyl) [1,2].
