Alcohol Oxidase – vacuum-dried powder, >0.6 units/mg solid

Description:
Alcohol Oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols. Alcohol oxidase is used in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, as it is present in blood cells and can be measured by a variety of analytical methods. The enzyme activity can be determined using a wild-type strain of bacteria or yeast, and can also be measured by polymerase chain reaction. Alcohol oxidase has been found to have a redox potential of -270 mV and an optimum pH range of 5 to 7. The enzyme is structurally similar to peroxidases, including horseradish peroxidase, and its biochemical properties include a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues. Alcohol oxidase is also used as a model system for studying oxidative enzymes. This protein has been studied extensively with respect to its biochemical properties, such as its ability to form disulfide bonds with other proteins. It has also been analyzed for its ability to bind with other molecules like DNA or RNA. Alcohol
