Function

Galactose oxidase (GAO) catalyzes the oxidation of D-galactose using O2 to D-galacto-hexodialdose and hydrogen peroxide. GAO catalytic motif is a free radical-coupled copper[1].

Structural highlights

GAO uses copper and active site post-translational cross-linking of Cys228 and Tyr272 via a thioester bond for activity[2]. Water molecules shown as red spheres. Na coordination site.
