Type: | Domain | Name: | Galactose oxidase, beta-propeller |
Description: | Galactose oxidase () is a monomeric enzyme that contains a single copper ion and catalyses the stereospecific oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehyde []. The protein contains an unusual covalent thioether bond between a tyrosine and a cysteine that forms during its maturation []. Galactose oxidase is a three-domain protein: the N-terminal domain forms a jelly-roll sandwich, the central domain forms a seven 4-bladed beta-propeller, and the C-terminal domain has an immunoglobulin-like fold. | Short Name: | Gal_Oxidase_b-propeller |
