Sorbose dehydrogenase
In enzymology, sorbose dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are L-sorbose and an electron acceptor. Its products are 5-dehydro-D-fructose and the corresponsing reduced acceptor.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-sorbose:acceptor 5-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called L-sorbose: 5-oxidoreductase.
