ENTRY       EC 1.10.3.7
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
            mould metabolites related to the antibiotic griseofulvin.
