FAD acts as an electron carrier during the reaction. The '''GOX-FAD''' form of the enzyme is reduced to the '''GOX-FADH2''' form during the reaction. The FAD oxidizes the β-D-glucose to δ-gluconolactone and being reduced to FADH2; the oxygen molecule is reduced to the hydrogen peroxide with the electrons transferred. This process is supported by a protonated '''His''' residue, which thus functions best at lower pH. Although the mechanism of the reaction had been clearly studied, the actual roles of the residues of the active sites are still unclear <ref>PMID: 10749686</ref>. | FAD acts as an electron carrier during the reaction.
