Application

D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a potential target molecule for the treatment of chronic pain and schizophrenia . D-amino acid oxidase is used to oxidize D-amino acids to their corresponding imino acids.

Unit Definition

One unit will oxidatively deaminate 1.0 μmole of D-alanine to pyruvate per minute at pH 8.3 at 25 °C, in the presence of a catalase.

In eukaryotes, hydrogen sulphide acts as a signalling molecule and cytoprotectant. Hydrogen sulphide is known to be produced from L-cysteine by cystathionine β-synthase, cystathionine γ-lyase and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase coupled with cysteine aminotransferase. Here we report an additional biosynthetic pathway for

Oligolamellar phospholipid vesicles incorporated with d-amino acid oxidase from porcine kidney (OV-DAO) were prepared by encapsulating pre-formed enzyme-bound unilamellar vesicles (UV-DAO) with bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). The bilayer of UV-DAO was composed of POPC, 30 mol% of cholesterol and 15
