In enzymology, a bilirubin oxidase (EC 1.3.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 2 bilirubin + O2↔ 2 biliverdin + 2 H2O. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are bilirubin and O2, whereas its two products are biliverdin and H2O. This enzyme belongs to the ...
Xanthine oxidase is a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, a type of enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species. These enzymes catalyze the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. These enzymes play an important role ...
Sarcosine oxidase (SAO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine to yield glycine, H2O2, 5, 10-CH2-tetrahydrofolate in a reaction requiring H4-tetrahydrofolate and oxygen. sarcosine + H2O + O2 = glycine + formaldehyde + H2O2. ...
