Description Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ to NADH). In Humans and many other animals, they serve to break down alcohols that otherwise are toxic, and they also participate in geneRation of useful aldehyde, ketone, or alcohol groups during biosynthesis of various metabolites. In yeast, plants, and many bacteria, some alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the opposite reaction as part of fermentation to ensure a constant supply of NAD+.
Applications Alcohol Dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for gel filtration chromatography and as a gel filtration molecular weight marker. It has been used in bioelectrochemical research to investigate the use of diamond nanoparticles as a surface for protein loading.
Form Solids containing <2% Citrate buffer salts
Enzyme Commission Number EC 1.1.1.1
Activity > 300 units/mg protein
CAS No. 9031-72-5
Isoelectric point 5.4-5.8
Specificity The dried enzyme has been stored for several weeks in a vacuum desiccator with little loss in activity. According to experiments described by A. Kornberg,3 the enzyme can be stored in the frozen state and can be thawed repeatedly without marked loss of activity.
Unit Definition One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of ethanol to acetaldehyde per min at pH 8.8 at 25°C.
Optimum pH 8.6-9.0
Storage −20°C
Inhibitors Compounds that react with free sulfhydryls, including N-alkylmaleimides and iodoacetamide. Zinc chelator inhibitors, including 1,10-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2′-dipyridyl, and thiourea. Substrate analogue inhibitors, including β-NAD analogs, purine and pyrimidine derivatives, chloroethanol, and fluoroethanol.
