Reaction: 2 reduced coenzyme F420 + O2 = 2 oxidized coenzyme F420 + 2 H2O
Glossary: oxidized coenzyme F420 = N-(N-{O-[5-(8-hydroxy-2,4-dioxo-2,3,4,10-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-10-yl)-5-deoxy-L-ribityl-1-phospho]-(S)-lactyl}-γ-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate
Other name(s): FprA
Systematic name: reduced coenzyme F420:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme contains FMN and a binuclear iron center. The enzyme from the archaeon Methanothermobacter marburgensis is Si-face specific with respect to C-5 of coenzyme F420 [2].
