Oxidase

Description
The term oxidase is applied to enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a substrate without incorporation of oxygen from into the product.

A two-electron oxidation is usually involved, so the oxygen is converted to H2O2.

Most oxidases utilize either a metal or a flavin coenzyme.

D-Amino acid oxidases, for example, use FAD as a cofactor.
