Sulochrin oxidase ((−)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming) explained

sulochrin oxidase [(−)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming]
Ec Number:	1.21.3.5
Cas Number:	82469-87-2
Go Code:	0047065

In enzymology, a sulochrin oxidase [(−)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming] is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2 sulochrin + O₂

\rightleftharpoons 2 (−)-bisdechlorogeodin + 2 H₂O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sulochrin and O₂, whereas its two products are (−)-bisdechlorogeodin and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sulochrin:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, (−)-specific). This enzyme is also called sulochrin oxidase.
