Fungal pyranose oxidase is a flavoenzyme whose preferred substrate among several monosaccharides is D-glucose. After a comprehensive analysis of conserved features in a structure-based multiple sequence alignment of homologous proteins, we could classify this enzyme into the GMC oxidoreductase family. The identified homology also suggests a three-dimensional protein structure similar to the functionally related glucose oxidase.
