oxidoreductase[¦äk·sə·dō·ri′dək‚tās] (biochemistry) An enzyme catalyzing a reaction in which two molecules of a compound interact so that one molecule is oxidized and the other reduced, with a molecule of water entering the reaction. oxidoreductaseenUK
oxidoreductase [ok″sĭ-do-re-duk´tās] a class of enzymes that catalyze the reversible transfer of electrons from one substance to another (oxidation-reduction, or redox reaction).ox·i·do·re·duc·tase (ok'si-dō-rē-dŭk'tās), An enzyme catalyzing an oxidation-reduction reaction. Trivial names for oxidoreductases include dehydrogenase, reductase, oxidase (where O2 is the H acceptor), oxygenase (where O2 is incorporated into the substrate), peroxidase (H2O2 is the acceptor; catalase is an exception), and hydroxylase (coupled oxidation of two donors).
