1.1.3.13

Accepted name:

alcohol oxidase

Reaction:

a primary alcohol + O₂ = an aldehyde + H₂O₂

Other name(s):

ethanol oxidase; alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase

Systematic name:

alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase (H₂O₂-forming)

Comments:

The enzymes from the fungi Candida methanosorbosa and several Basidiomycetes species contain an FAD cofactor [1,3]. The enzyme from the phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum graminicola and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides utilize a mononuclear copper-radical mechanism [4]. The enzyme acts on primary alcohols and unsaturated alcohols, and has much lower activity with branched-chain and secondary alcohols.
