The topic is going to be the structural study of the enzyme '''glucose oxidase''' from aspergillus niger. It is not an enzyme from human body. Instead, it is found in the cells of fungus. It catalysts the oxidation of beta-D-glucose to δ--gluconolactone and H2O2 (which is not a reaction happening in human body). I don't think there is any medical application for this certain enzyme since it is not even an enzyme from human body. The only possible medical application might be producing medicines with this type of reaction. | The topic is going to be the structural study of the enzyme '''glucose oxidase''' from aspergillus niger.
