Glucose oxidase (GOx) is an important oxidoreductase enzyme with many important roles in
biological processes. It is considered an “ideal enzyme” and is often called an oxidase …

Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

Tunnels and channels facilitate the transport of small molecules, ions and water solvent in a
large variety of proteins. Characteristics of individual transport pathways, including their …

Enzymes are very efficient catalysts that are essential for the functioning of living organisms.
The low efficiency of biocatalysts produced de novo relative to those that have evolved …

Flavin-dependent enzymes catalyse a wide range of reactions and, thereby, facilitate a
variety of cellular processes. Among the properties that equip flavoenzymes with this …

The flavoenzyme nicotine oxidoreductase (NicA2) is a promising injectable treatment to aid
in the cessation of smoking, a behavior responsible for one in ten deaths worldwide. NicA2 …

Cholesterol is a steroid commonly found in nature with a great relevance in biology,
medicine and chemistry, playing an essential role as a structural component of animal cell …

This review provides an overview of oxidases that utilise a flavin cofactor for catalysis. This
class of oxidative flavoenzymes has shown to harbour a large number of biotechnologically …

Many enzymes use one or more cofactors, such as biotin, heme, or flavin. These cofactors
may be bound to the enzyme in a noncovalent or covalent manner. Although most …

Abstract Alcohol oxidases (Alcohol: O 2 Oxidoreductase; EC 1.1. 3. x) are flavoenzymes that
catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with a …
