Flavin-dependent enzymes catalyse a wide range of reactions and, thereby, facilitate a
variety of cellular processes. Among the properties that equip flavoenzymes with this …

Cholesterol is an essential component of eukaryotic membranes and plays a crucial role in
membrane organization, dynamics and function. The modulatory role of cholesterol in the …

Many flavoproteins catalyze the oxidation of primary and secondary amines, with the transfer
of a hydride equivalent from a carbon–nitrogen bond to the flavin cofactor. Most of these …

Abstract Alcohol oxidases (Alcohol: O 2 Oxidoreductase; EC 1.1. 3. x) are flavoenzymes that
catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with a …

Although hydrophobic interaction is the main contributing factor to the stability of the protein
fold, the specificity of the folding process depends on many directional interactions. An …

Because enzyme-catalyzed reactions exhibit higher enantioselectivity, regioselectivity,
substrate specificity, and stability, they require mild conditions to react while prompting …

A systematic approach towards the fabrication of highly functionalized silica shell magnetic
nanoparticles, presently used for enzyme immobilization, is herein fully presented. The …

Cholesterol oxidases are bifunctional flavoenzymes that catalyze the oxidation of steroid
substrates which have a hydroxyl group at the 3β position of the steroid ring system. The …

Microbial cholesterol oxidase is an enzyme of great commercial value, widely employed by
laboratories routinely devoted to the determination of cholesterol concentrations in serum …

An important aspect of catalysis performed by cholesterol oxidase (3β‐hydroxysteroid
oxidase) concerns the nature of its association with the lipid bilayer that contains the sterol …
