Nucleoside oxidase (H2O2-forming)

Template:Infobox enzyme Nucleoside oxidase (H₂O₂-forming) (Template:EC number) is an enzyme with systematic name nucleoside:oxygen 5'-oxidoreductase (H₂O₂-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

adenosine + 2 O₂ + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ 9-riburonosyladenine + 2 H₂O₂ (overall reaction)

(1a) adenosine + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 5'-dehydroadenosine + H₂O₂

(1b) 5'-dehydroadenosine + O₂ + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ 9-riburonosyladenine + H₂O₂

This enzyme contains Heme and belongs to a flavoprotein family.
