Glucose oxidase

Description:
Glucose oxidase (GOx) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone, with the concurrent reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. It is commonly derived from fungi, particularly Aspergillus niger, and is classified as an oxidoreductase. GOx is characterized by its specificity for β-D-glucose and operates optimally at a slightly acidic pH, typically around pH 5-7. The enzyme is a glycoprotein, meaning it contains carbohydrate moieties that can influence its stability and activity. Glucose oxidase is widely used in various applications, including food preservation, biosensors for glucose monitoring in diabetes management, and in biotechnological processes. Its ability to produce hydrogen peroxide makes it useful in antimicrobial applications as well. Additionally, GOx is often employed in the production of gluconic acid and in the food industry for the enzymatic removal of glucose from syrups and juices. Overall, glucose oxidase is a vital enzyme with significant industrial and medical relevance.
