Nucleoside oxidase (EC 1.1.3.28) is an enzyme with system name nucleoside:oxygen 5′-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction inosine + O2 9-riburonosylhypoxanthine + H2O (1a) 2 inosine + O2 2 5′-dehydroinosine + 2 H2O (1b) 2 5′-dehydroinosine + O2 2 9-riburonosylhypoxanthineThis enzyme could use other purine and pyrimidine nucleosides (as well as 2′-deoxynucleosides) are substrates.
