Oxidase
An
oxidase
is an
enzyme
that
catalyzes
an
oxidation-reduction
reaction, especially one involving
dioxygen
(O
2
) as the electron acceptor. In reactions involving donation of a
hydrogen
atom, oxygen is reduced to
water
(H
2
O) or
hydrogen peroxide
(H
2
O
2
). Some oxidation reactions, such as those involving
monoamine oxidase
or
xanthine oxidase
, typically do not involve free molecular oxygen.
