Methane monooxygenase (particulate) () is an enzyme with systematic name methane,quinol:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: methane + quinol + O2 \rightleftharpoons methanol + quinone + H2O

Methane monooxygenase contains copper. It is membrane-bound enzyme present in methanotrophs.
