ID   1.5.3.24
DE   sarcosine oxidase (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-forming).
CA   (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + O2 + sarcosine = (6R)-5,10-methylene-
CA   5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + glycine + H2O2.
CC   -!- The enzyme, found in some bacterial species, is composed of four
CC       different subunits and two active sites connected by a large
CC       'reaction chamber'.
CC   -!- An imine intermediate is transferred between the sites, eliminating
CC       the production of toxic formaldehyde.
CC   -!- The enzyme contains three cofactors: non-covalently bound FAD and
CC       NAD(+), and FMN that is covalently bound to a histidine residue.
CC   -!- In the absence of folate the enzyme catalyzes the reaction of
CC       EC 1.5.3.1.
