Báo cáo khoa học: Cholesterol oxidase: physiological functions

An important aspect of catalysis performed by cholesterol oxidase (3b-hy-droxysteroid oxidase) concerns the nature of its association with the lipid bilayer that contains the sterol substrate. Efficient catalytic turnover is affected by the association of the protein with the membrane as well as the solubility of the substrate in the lipid bilayer.
