Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
L-gulono-γ-lactone: O2 oxidoreductase; L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase; L-gulono-γ-lactone:oxidoreductase; GLO
Reaction
L-gulono-1,4-lactone + O2 = L-ascorbate + H2O2 (overall reaction); (1a) L-gulono-1,4-lactone + O2 = L-xylo-hex-2-ulono-1,4-lactone + H2O2; (1b) L-xylo-hex-2-ulono-1,4-lactone = L-ascorbate (spontaneous)
