Alcohol oxidase (AOX)
Short Description:
About alcohol oxidase
ES-AOXs: These enzymes are able to catalyze oxidation of fatty alcohols or aryl-alcohols to form aldehydes. They utilise molecular oxygen but does not require an externally added cofactor, and hydrogen peroxide produced.
There are 6 kinds of alcohol oxidases products (Number as ES-AOX-101~ES-AOX-106) developed by SyncoZymes. ES-AOX101 and ES-AOX102 prefer aliphatic alcohol substrates, ES-AOX103~ ES-AOX105 prefer aromatic alcohol substrates, and ES-AOX106 is cholesterol oxidase. SZ-AOX is a useful tool to catalyze oxidation of fatty alcohols or aryl-alcohols to produce aldehydes.

★ High substrate specificity.
★ High conversion.
★ Less by-products.
★ Mild reaction conditions.
★ Environmentally friendly.
➢ Normally, the reaction system should include substrate, buffer solution and ES-AOX, and oxygen should be present.
➢ All kinds of ES-AOXs corresponding to various optimum reaction conditions, which could be studied individually.
➢ High concentration Substrate or product with may inhibit ES-AOX's activity. However, the inhibition can be relieved by batch addition of substrate.
➢ The accumulation of H2O2 in the system will lead to enzyme inactivation, which can be effectively solved by the use of catalase.

Keep 2 years below -20℃.
Never contact with extreme conditions such as: high temperature, high/low pH and high concentration organic solvent.
