The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide having cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity, wherein said polypeptide comprises a reductase domain that deviates by at least one mutation from (a) the reductase domain of cytochrome P450 BM3, wherein the reductase domain of cytochrome P450 BM3 is represented by SEQ ID NO:1; or (b) a reductase domain having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1; and wherein said mutation(s) result(s) in an increased cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity as compared to a polypeptide comprising the reductase domain of SEQ ID NO: 1. The present invention also relates to a vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule of the invention and a host transformed with the vector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of producing a polypeptide comprising culturing the host of the invention as well as to a polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid molecule of the invention or produced by the method of the invention. The present invention further relates to the use of the polypeptide of the invention in biotransformation or fine chemical synthesis, to an oligo- or polynucleotide which specifically hybridizes to the nucleic acid molecule of the invention as well as to a composition and to a kit.
