Type: | Domain | Name: | Soluble quinoprotein glucose/sorbosone dehydrogenase |
Description: | Quinoproteins form a class of dehydrogenases distinct from the NAD(P)- and flavin-dependent enzymes, using one of four different quinone cofactors for the oxidation of a variety of compounds. Soluble glucose dehydrogenase (s-GDH) from the bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticusis a quinoprotein that requires the cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) to catalyse the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone []. s-GDH has six 4-stranded beta-sheets in a beta-propeller fold. | Short Name: | Quinoprot_gluc/sorb_DH |
