L-aspartate oxidase
Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a L-aspartate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-aspartate + H2O + O2 oxaloacetate + NH3 + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-aspartate, H2O, and O2, whereas its 3 products are oxaloacetate, NH3, and H2O2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-aspartate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme participates in alanine and aspartate metabolism and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1J5P, 1KNP, and 1KNR.
