In

enzymology, a pyranose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-glucose + O2 2-dehydro-D-glucose + H2O2

Thus, the two

.

Pyranose oxidase is able to oxidize

D-glucono-1,5-lactone, which have the same ring conformation and configuration at C-2, C-3 and C-4.[2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is pyranose:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include glucose 2-oxidase, and pyranose-2-oxidase. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway. It employs one cofactor, FAD.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 8

structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1TT0, 1TZL, 2F5V, 2F6C, 2IGK, 2IGM, 2IGN, and 2IGO
