ENTRY       EC 1.4.3.11
NAME        L-Glutamate oxidase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors
            With oxygen as acceptor
SYSNAME     L-Glutamate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)
REACTION    L-Glutamate + O2 + H2O = 2-Oxoglutarate + NH3 + H2O2
SUBSTRATE   L-Glutamate
            O2
            H2O
PRODUCT     2-Oxoglutarate
            NH3
            H2O2
COFACTOR    FAD
COMMENT     A flavoprotein (FAD.)  The enzyme from Azotobacter previously
            listed under this number. which did not produce H2O2, was a crude
            cell-free extract which probably contained catalase.
