Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract ʟ‐Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of ʟ‐amino acids, producing α‐keto acids, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. Among LAAOs, ʟ‐glutamate oxidase (LGOX) from Streptomyces sp. X‐119‐6 exhibits exceptionally high substrate specificity for ʟ‐glutamate. LGOX is expressed as a homodimeric precursor and
