ID 1.1.3.47 DE 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural oxidase. CA 5-hydroxymethylfurfural + 2 H2O + 3 O2 = 2,5-dicarboxyfuran + 2 H(+) + CA 3 H2O2. CC -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Methylovorus sp. strain CC MP688, is involved in the degradation and detoxification of CC 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural. CC -!- The enzyme acts only on alcohol groups and requires the spontaneous CC hydration of aldehyde groups for their oxidation. CC -!- The enzyme has a broad substrate range that overlaps with EC 1.1.3.7. DR E4QP00, HMFO_METS6 ; //
