Oxidoreductase - Open Access .click

2014
Vitamin C is a widely used vitamin. Here we review the occurrence and properties of aldonolactone oxidoreductases, an important group of flavoenzymes responsible for the ultimate production of vitamin C and its analogs in animals, plants, and single-cell organisms.

Structure and electrochemistry of oxidoreductases

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1987
The principles on which Nature has developed multifunctional redox centres, covering a large range of potentials, protected from water and oxygen and surrounded by highly specific proteins, are demonstrated. Structures and accessibilities of the active sites of iron-sulphur proteins, sulphur proteins, flavoproteins, cytochromes and copper proteins are ...

Applications of oxidoreductases

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1999
Oxidoreductases comprise the large class of enzymes that catalyze biological oxidation/reduction reactions. Because many chemical and biochemical transformations involve oxidation/reduction processes, developing practical biocatalytic applications of oxidoreductases has long been an important goal in biotechnology.

Human NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 2001
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase consists of at least 43 proteins; seven are encoded by the mitochondrial genome, while the remainder are encoded by the nuclear genome. A deficient activity of this enzyme complex is frequently observed in the clinical heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders, with Leigh (-like) disease as the main contributor ...
