DEFINITION

Classification: 424/94.4

Oxidoreductases (1.) (e.g., catalase, dehydrogenases, reductases, etc.):

(under subclass 94.1) Subject matter wherein the enzyme catalyzes an oxidation-reduction reaction between a donor and acceptor; e.g., AH2 + B=A + BH2, etc.

(1) Note. An oxidation-reduction reaction for the purpose of this classification involves the transfer of oxygen, hydrogen, or electrons from a donor to an acceptor.

(2) Note. A water molecule is not considered to be an acceptor or a donor.

(3) Note. Oxidoreductases which catalyze a reaction between a donor and acceptor are different portions of the same molecule, i.e., an intramolecular oxidoreductase, are considered to be isomerases and are excluded herefrom.
