In enzymology, a lactate 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.13.12.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: (S)-lactate + O2 ↔ acetate + CO2 + H2O. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-lactate and O2, whereas its 3 products are acetate, CO2, and ...
In enzymology, a pyruvate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: pyruvate + phosphate + O2 ↔ acetyl phosphate + CO2 + H2O2. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are pyruvate, phosphate, and O2, whereas its 3 products are acetyl phosphate, CO2, and ...
