In enzymology, a glucose-fructose oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
D-glucose + D-fructose
D-gluconolactone + D-glucitol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glucose and D-fructose, whereas its two products are D-gluconolactone and D-glucitol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucose:D-fructose oxidoreductase.
