Preferred Name | Oxidoreductase | |
Synonyms |
Reductases Dehydrogenase Dehydrogenases Reductase Oxidoreductases |
|
Definitions |
The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) (source : MSH) |
