Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase

Function

Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) catalyzes the conversion of vanillyl alcohol and molecular oxygen to vaniline and hydrogen peroxide. VAO is part of the 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation and uses FAD as a cofactor^[1].

in Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (3fim).

Relevance

VAO is a versatile biocatalyst and converts a wide variety of phenolic compounds^[2].
