'''Nitroreductase''' (NR) is involved in the reduction of nitrogen-containing compounds including those containing NO<sub>2</sub> group. The NO<sub>2</sub> group is reduced to hydroxylamine<ref>PMID:11491290</ref>. NR uses FMN as cofactor. Among NRs are the oxygen-insensitive NAD(P)H NR and NADH dehydrogenase. | '''Nitroreductase''' or '''oxygen-insensitive NAD(P)H nitroreductase''' (NR) is involved in the reduction of nitrogen-containing compounds including those containing NO<sub>2</sub> group.
