| amino acid oxidases | Flavoenzymes oxidizing, with O2 and H20, either l-or d-amino acids specifically, to the corresponding 2-keto acids, NH3 and H2O2. Compare: amino acid dehydrogenases, yellow enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| mixed function oxidases | <enzyme> Catalyse the insertion of one oxygen atom of molecular oxygen into the organ substrate. Require a second substrate to donate electrons for the reduction of the second atom in the oxygen molecule to water. Registry number: EC 1.13.12. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfite oxidases | <enzyme> A molybdohemoprotein which catalyses the terminal reaction in the oxidative degradation of sulfur-containing amino acids with the formation of a sulfate. Cytochrome c, ferricyanide and molecular oxygen can act as acceptors. A deficiency is manifested by brain damage and mental deterioration. Utilises ferricytochrome c as acceptor. Uses molecular oxygen. Registry number: EC 1.8.3.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
