Thiol oxidase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a thiol oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

4 R'C(R)SH + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 2 R'C(R)S-S(R)CR' + 2 H₂O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are R'C(R)SH and O₂, whereas its two products are R'C(R)S-S(R)CR' and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thiol:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called sulfhydryl oxidase.
