All of the following are true about Xanthine oxidase, EXCEPT:: (A) Contains iron, (B) Contains molybdenum, (C) Flavoprotein, (D) Produces H2O
Answer is D. Xanthine oxidase is a flavoprotein containing both molybdenum and iron-sulphur clusters. Deficiency of xanthine oxidase leads to hyperuricemia. Look at the reaction. Xanthine oxidase produces H2O2(Hydrogen peroxide), not H2O.
