Amino acid dehydrogenases catalyze oxidative deamination or reductive amination between amino acids and their corresponding α-keto acids. Through NAD(H), NADP(H), or flavin cofactors, these enzymes connect nitrogen metabolism, central carbon metabolism, and cellular redox status. They are also ...
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 ...
