Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase containing FAD, 3fim Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) catalyzes the conversion of vanillyl alcohol and molecular oxygen to vaniline and hydrogen peroxide. VAO is part of the 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation and uses FAD as a cofactor[1]. in Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (3fim). Relevance VAO is a versatile biocatalyst and converts a wide variety of phenolic compounds[2].
