| - | '''Cholesterol oxidase''' (COX) catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol and molecular oxygen to Colest-4-en-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. COX uses FAD as a cofactor. '''COX I''' binds FAD non-covalently whereas '''COX II''' binds FAD covalently. | + | '''Cholesterol oxidase''' (COX) catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol and molecular oxygen to Colest-4-en-3-one and hydrogen peroxide.
