Description | Quinoproteins form a class of dehydrogenases distinct from the NAD(P)- and flavin-dependent enzymes, using one of four different quinone cofactors for the oxidation of a variety of compounds. Soluble glucose dehydrogenase (s-GDH) from the bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is a quinoprotein that requires the cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) to catalyse the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone [ ]. s-GDH has six 4-stranded β-sheets in a β-propeller fold. | Name | Soluble quinoprotein glucose/sorbosone dehydrogenase |
Short Name | Quinoprot_gluc/sorb_DH | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
