L-ornithine N5 monooxygenase
In enzymology, an ornithine monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.196) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-ornithine + NAD(P)H + O2 N(5)-hydroxy-L-ornithine + NAD(P)+ + H2O

Thus, the three substrates of this enzyme are L-ornithine, NAD(P)H and O2, whereas its three products are N(5)-hydroxy-L-ornithine, NAD(P)+ and H2O. The coenzyme is FAD.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically the monooxygenases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-ornithine N5 monooxygenase (flavin-dependent). The enzyme from the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of the siderophores triacetylfusarinine and desferriferricrocin, while the enzyme from the bacterium Kutzneria 744 is involved in the biosynthesis of piperazate, a building block of the kutzneride family of antifungal antibiotics.
Structural studies
As of late 2013, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 4NZH, 4B63, 4B64, 4B65, 4B66, 4B67, 4B68 and 4B69.
