CAS 9028-79-9
:Galactose oxidase
Description:
Galactose oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of galactose to galacto-hexodialdose, and it is derived from the fungus *Dactylium dendroides*. This enzyme is classified as an oxidoreductase and is notable for its specificity towards galactose, making it useful in various biochemical applications, including biosensors and biocatalysis. Galactose oxidase operates by utilizing molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The enzyme is characterized by its ability to form a covalent bond with the substrate, which is essential for its catalytic activity. It typically exhibits optimal activity at a specific pH and temperature, which can vary depending on the source and conditions. Additionally, galactose oxidase has been studied for its potential applications in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and as a tool in molecular biology for the detection of galactose-containing compounds. Its unique properties make it a valuable enzyme in both research and industrial settings.
