Cellobiose acceptor products

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) preferentially oxidizes cellobiose, the product of cellulose hydrolysis by cellulases. A variety of substrates can be used as electron acceptors, including quinones, transition metals, phenoxyl radicals, and O2 (Figure 1C, 14). A possible secondary reaction is the production of Fenton reagent resulting in the hydroxyl radical.
