Reaction: NADH + H+ + O2 = NAD+ + H2O2
Other name(s): NOX-1; H2O2-forming NADH oxidase
Systematic name: NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (H2O2-forming)
Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The bacterium Streptococcus mutans contains two distinct NADH oxidases, a H2O2-forming enzyme and a H2O-forming enzyme (cf. EC 1.6.3.4, NADH oxidase (H2O-forming)) [1]. The enzymes from the anaerobic archaea Methanocaldococcus jannaschii [6] and Pyrococcus furiosus [3] also produce low amounts of H2O. Unlike EC 1.6.3.1 (NAD(P)H oxidase) it has no activity towards NADPH.
