Glucose oxidase

Product name: Glucose oxidase
CAS No.: 9001-37-0
Application:
Glucose oxidase is found in honey and acts as a natural preservative. GOx at the surface of the honey reduces atmospheric O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which acts as an antimicrobial barrier.
Product Description:
 The glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) (EC 1.1.3.4) binds to beta-D-glucopyranose (a hemiacetal form of the six-carbon sugar glucose) and aids in breaking the sugar down into its metabolites. GOx is a dimeric protein that catalyzes the oxidation of beta-D-glucose into D-glucono-1,5-lactone, which then hydrolyzes to gluconic acid.
