ENTRY       EC 1.1.3.28
NAME        Nucleoside oxidase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on the CH-OH group of donors
            With oxygen as acceptor
SYSNAME     Nucleoside:oxygen 5'-oxidoreductase
REACTION    2 Inosine + O2 = 2 5'-Oxoinosine + 2 H2O
SUBSTRATE   Inosine
            O2
PRODUCT     5'-Oxoinosine
            H2O
            Inosine-5'-carboxylate
COMMENT     Also oxidizes 5'-oxoinosine to inosine-5'-carboxylate.  Other
            purine nucleosides and, more slowly, pyrimidine nucleosides can
            also act as donors.
