Description
Ascorbate Oxidase is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.
Converts ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid
Biomolecule/Target:
Alternates names: L-Ascorbate, oxygen oxidoreductase, Ascorbase
Synonyms: L-Ascorbate, oxygen oxidoreductase, Ascorbase
Background Information: Ascorbate oxidase is a homodimeric enzyme, which comprises 552 amino acid residues per subunit (zucchini). It corresponds to a molecular mass of 70 kDa per subunit. This enzyme is mainly found in plants, fungi and eubacteria.This enzyme is involved in a redox system involving ascorbic acid. The enzyme is highly specific for L-ascorbic acid and a few analogs. The pH optimum for enzymatic activity is in the range of pH 5.5 to 7.0. The activity at pH 4.5 and 8.3 is approximately 50% maximal activity.
Reconstitution Instructions: The enzyme is reconstituted in 4 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 5.6, with 0.05% (w/v) BSA.
