Glucose oxidase primarily acts on glucose as its substrate. It catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid while producing hydrogen peroxide. While glucose is the main substrate, some forms of the enzyme can also act on other sugars, such as D-fructose, but with significantly lower efficiency.
What else can I help you with?
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
What do you make when 2 single sugars are joined together?
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
How are glucose and manose related?
Monnose can be defined as a sugar monmer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Glucose can be defined as d-glucose, dextrose or grape sugar. Glucose and manose are related because they are both types of sugars.
How are sucrose lactose and maltose the same?
sucrose is the standard sweetness, a table sugar, glucose + fructose. lactose is the least sweet of all sugars, galactose + glucose. lastly, maltose is the sugar found in beers, glucose + glucose.
How is the orginial sugar sucrose different from the resulting sugars glucose and fructose?
Glucose C6H12O6 (simplest sugar)Sucrose C12H22O11 (1glucose and one fructose molecule combined to make a Disaccaride)Fructose C6H120H12 (fruit sugar as well as the sweetest sugar)From a chemical standpoint glucose is the "original" sugar.
How does glucose react with glucose oxidase?
Since you know what Glucose Oxidase is I'm assuming you know what enzymes are. If not, an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions. Glucose oxidase is the enzyme built specifically for Glucose. Glucose Oxidase binds to the six-carbon sugar Glucose and aids the organism in breaking it down into metabolites.
What monosaccharide is also known as blood sugar?
simple sugars[Gk. monos, single, and sacchar, sugar], consisting of only a single sugar molecule
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
What material is the stored chemical energy you call glucose or sugar?
Glucose and other sugars are carbohydrates.
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
What organic compound is a expample of sugar?
Glucose and sucrose are both sugars
What is the best sugar for you?
Natural sugars (glucose) which is found mainly in fruit.
What is the major product of photosynthesis that helps the plant to survive?
Simple sugars in the form of glucose
What is the difference between sugar and glucose?
Sugar is a broad term that refers to a group of carbohydrates, including simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Glucose is a type of sugar that is the main source of energy for the body's cells and is found in many foods. So, all glucose is sugar, but not all sugar is glucose.
What are carbohydrates broken down into when digested?
Sugars such as glucose that are used as an energy source for your body. The brain and nervous system rely heavily on carbohydrates to function as well.
What is low blood glucose?
Low Blood Glucose is the same thing as Low blood sugar, since Glucose is a form of sugar. Glucose is different from other sugars because it has only half the amount of sweetness, compared to other sugars such as Dextrose or Maltose. Low blood sugar can result in Hypoglycemia, which is common in many people with diabetes.
