Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.131, dimethylsulfide monooxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethyl sulfide,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

dimethyl sulfide + O₂ + NADH + H⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ methanethiol + formaldehyde + NAD⁺ + H₂O

Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase has lower activity with diethyl sulfide and other short-chain alkyl methyl sulfides.^[2][3]
