Xanthine oxidase (EC 1.1.3.22) and xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.204) belong to the molybdenum hydroxylase flavoprotein family; they represent different forms of the same gene product.Xanthine oxidoreductase activity is rate-limiting in purine catabolism.he main active center of the molybdoenzyme xanthine oxidase is a molybdopterin buried in a cavity. One possible mechanism of inhibition is the attraction of an inhibitor molecule inside the cavity. It is important to understand the mechanisms of the enzyme inhibition to help in the search of new inhibitors.
