Description
In enzymology, an alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction a primary alcohol + O₂ ↔ an aldehyde + H₂O₂ Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are primary alcohol and O₂, whereas its two products are aldehyde and H2O2. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor.Applications:Useful for enzymatic determination of blood alcohol.pH Stability: 6.0-9.5 (37°C, 60 mins)Thermal stability: Stable at 40°C and below (pH 7.5, 10 mins)
