Sulochrin oxidase ((-)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a sulochrin oxidase [(-)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming] (EC 1.21.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2 sulochrin + O2 \rightleftharpoons 2 (-)-bisdechlorogeodin + 2 H2O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sulochrin and O2, whereas its two products are (-)-bisdechlorogeodin and H2O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sulochrin:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, (-)-specific). This enzyme is also called sulochrin oxidase.
