Chiral discrimination in the active site of oxidoreductases

Chiral discrimination in the active site of oxidoreductases Oxidoreductases are enzymes that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions. The accepted name could be donor-dehydrogenase. The term oxidase is used only when oxygen is an acceptor. The active sites of a number of oxidoreductases are studied, which reveals that the binding of different molecules such as drugs could be chirality speci†c.
