Research Abstract |
Cholesterol oxidase is a valuable enzyme which is used for determination of cholesterol in human blood. We previously discovered a thermal, organic solvent and detergent-tolerant cholesterol oxidase from a gram-negative bacterium Chromobacterium sp. DS-1.In this study, the mechanism of the high stability of the enzyme was studied. As the result, it was found that a coenzyme FAD is involved in the stability of the enzyme.
