3D structures of sarcosine oxidase
Updated on 15-March-2022
Sarcosine oxidase (SOX) catalyzes the demethylation of sarcosine+O2+H4-tetrahydrofolate to produce glycine, hydrogen peroxide and 5, 10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate. Sarcosine metabolism can be the source of carbon and energy for many microorganisms. SOXs are found as monomers, heterodirmers and heterotetramers[1]. Monomeric SOX uses FAD as cofactor. Heterotetrameric SOX uses FAD and FMN as cofactors.
