Application

D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a potential target molecule for the treatment of chronic pain and schizophrenia . D-amino acid oxidase is used to oxidize D-amino acids to their corresponding imino acids.

Other Notes

One unit will oxidatively deaminate 1.0 μmole of D-alanine to pyruvate per minute at pH 8.3 at 25 °C, in the presence of a catalase.

In eukaryotes, hydrogen sulphide acts as a signalling molecule and cytoprotectant. Hydrogen sulphide is known to be produced from L-cysteine by cystathionine β-synthase, cystathionine γ-lyase and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase coupled with cysteine aminotransferase. Here we report an additional biosynthetic pathway for
