Description

L-Amino Acid Oxidase (L-AAO) is a highly specific flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of L-amino acids, producing the corresponding α-keto acids, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. This enzymatic activity is critical for research and industrial processes requiring precise amino acid analysis or modification. It is an essential reagent for biochemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and food science industries, where it is used for biosensor development, metabolic pathway studies, and the production of specialty chemicals.

Application

• Diagnostic Kits & Biosensors: Key component in enzymatic assays for the detection and quantification of specific L-amino acids in clinical and food samples.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in drug discovery and metabolic studies to investigate amino acid metabolism and enzyme inhibition.
• Biocatalysis: Employed in the synthesis of α-keto acids and other chiral intermediates for fine chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Applied in quality control to measure amino acid content, monitor fermentation processes, and assess nutritional value.
• Academic & Biochemical Research: Fundamental tool for enzymology studies, protein characterization, and understanding oxidative metabolic pathways.
• Industrial Enzyme Blends: Incorporated into specialized enzyme mixtures for processing or modifying protein-based materials.
