Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a novel nucleoside oxidase YT-1 serving as an enzyme for catalyzing oxidation reaction of a nucleoside, and oxidase being characterized in that the oxidase causes the nucleoside to react with molecular oxygen to produce a nucleoside-5'-carboxylic acid via a nucleoside-5'-aldehyde without producing hydrogen peroxide, a process for producing the enzyme, a novel microorganism having ability to produce the enzyme, and a novel analysis or assay method for nucleosides and the like utilizing the enzyme.
