Add article description

In enzymology, a sulochrin oxidase [(−)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming] (EC 1.21.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2 sulochrin + O2 2 (−)-bisdechlorogeodin + 2 H2O
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sulochrin and O2, whereas its two products are (−)-bisdechlorogeodin and H2O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sulochrin:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, (−)-specific). This enzyme is also called sulochrin oxidase.
