Carbohydrate oxidases selectively oxidize glucose, galactose, and other sugars, accompanied by H₂O₂ production, oxygen consumption, or electron transfer. Different carbohydrate oxidases exhibit distinct substrate ranges and regioselectivities, acting on positions such as C1, C2, or C6 of the ...
The conversion of salicylate to catechol is a key reaction in microbial degradation of aromatic compounds. This process is usually catalyzed by salicylate hydroxylase and proceeds with the participation of flavin cofactors, reduced coenzymes, and molecular oxygen. It involves aromatic-ring ...
Amino acid oxidases are a class of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases that use molecular oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor to catalyze oxidative deamination of amino acids, generating the corresponding alpha-keto acids, ammonia (or ammonium), and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction system ...
