Cholesterol oxidase is a monomeric flavoenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of cholesterol to cholest-5-en-3-one followed by isomerization to cholest-4-en-3-one. The enzyme from Brevibacterium sterolicum contains the FAD cofactor covalently bound to His121. It was previously demonstrated that the H121A substitution results in a approximately 100 mV decrease in the midpoint redox potential and a...
