| - | '''Amino acid oxidase''' catalyzes the oxidation of amino acids to the keto acid producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. These enzymes oxidize D-amino acids (DAO) and L-amino acids (LAO). The LAO oxidation products are 2-oxo acid, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. LAO is widely found in snake venom. DAOs oxidize neutral and basic D-amino acids. | + | '''Amino acid oxidase''' catalyzes the oxidation of amino acids to the keto acid producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
