TE.23 | |  Oxidoreductases
| |
définition  | - 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)

notes | - To this class belong all enzymes catalyzing oxido-reductions. The substrate oxidized is regarded as hydrogen or electron donor. The classification is based on 'donor:acceptor oxidoreductase'. The common name is 'dehydrogenase', wherever this is possible; as an alternative, 'acceptor reductase' can be used. 'Oxidase' is used only where O(2) is an acceptor. Classification is difficult in some cases, because of the lack of specificity toward the acceptor.
