Alcohol dehydrogenase, yeast, Each

Details

Alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction: RCH2OH NAD ↔ RCHO NADH H It facilitates the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD to NADH). In biotransformation, alcohol dehydrogenases are often used for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure stereoisomers of chiral alcohols.
