ENTRY EC 1.10.3.8
NAME Sulochrin oxidase ((-)-bisdechlorogeodin-forming)
CLASS Oxidoreductases
Acting on diphenols and related substances as donors
With oxygen as acceptor
SYSNAME Sulochrin:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, (-)-specific)
REACTION 2 Sulochrin + O2 = 2 (-)-Bisdechlorogeodin + 2 H2O
SUBSTRATE Sulochrin
O2
PRODUCT (-)-Bisdechlorogeodin
H2O
COMMENT Also acts on several diphenols and phenylenediamines, but has low
affinity for these substrates. Involved in the biosynthesis of
