Methylphosphonate synthase (EC 1.13.11.73, mpnS (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate:O2 1,2-oxidoreductase (methylphosphonate forming). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
The carbon atom which is removed from 2-hydroxyethylphosphonic acid becomes carbonic acid. [2] Methylphosphonate synthase is isolated from the marine archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus .
