[[Image:LigninPolymerisation.jpg|thumb|200px|Polymerisation of [[coniferyl alcohol]] to [[lignin]]. The reaction has two alternative routes [[Catalysis|catalysed]] by two different oxidative enzymes, [[peroxidase]]s or [[oxidase]]s.]]
An '''oxidative enzyme''' is an [[enzyme]] which [[Catalysis|catalyses]] [[oxidation]] reaction. Two most common types of oxidative [[enzyme]]s are [[peroxidase]]s, which use [[hydrogen peroxide]], and [[oxidase]]s, which use molecular [[oxygen]].
They increase the rate at which ATP is produced aerobically.
