brain aldehyde reductase activity is closely associated with pharmalogical actions of drugs affecting the central nervous system, anti-convulsant drugs have inhibitory effects, more work is needed for the mechanism of action of psychoactive drugs and interactions of barbiturates with aldehyde reductase
develpoment of conversion processes for petrochemicals and oil-contaminated environments, cinnamyl aldehyde and cinnamyl alcohol used in flavor and perfume industry, anisaldehyde is used for perfume and toilet soaps, decylalcohol is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, a production system for this enzyme may be useful for industrial application as a biocatalyst in the future
potential use for industrial production of ethanol by fermentation, thermophilic fermentations offer the potential to separate ethanol from continous cultures at process temperature and reduced pressure during growth
conversion of prochiral ketones to chiral alcohols by Escherichia coli coexpressing enzyme with NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase and pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase genes pnta and pntb, conversion of 66% acetophenone to (R)-phenylethanol over 12 h
the NADP(H)-dependent enzyme is useful in the selective chemoenzymatic synthesis of the tert-butyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-ketohexanoate, a highly regio- and enantioselective reduction of a beta,delta-diketohexanoate ester, scale up of the continous fed-batch method, overview
50 microg of alcohol dehydrogenase AdhA, EC 1.1.1.2, and 50 microg actaldehyde dehydrogenase AldH, EC 1.2.1.10,in buffer solution (pH 8.0) containing NADPH, NADH and acetyl-CoA at 60°C, produce 1.6 mM ethanol from 3 mM acetyl-CoA after 90 min
expression of BdhA enzyme in Caldicellulosiruptor bescii confers increased resistance of the engineered strain to both furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. In presence of 15 mM of either furan aldehyde, the ability to eliminate furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from the culture medium is significantly improved in the engineered strain
synthetic pathway for bioalcohol production at 70°C by insertion of the gene for bacterial alcohol dehydrogenase AdhA into the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus. The engineered strain converts glucose to ethanol via acetate and acetaldehyde, catalyzed by the host-encoded aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase AOR and heterologously expressed AdhA, in an energy-conserving, redox-balanced pathway. The AOR/AdhA pathway also converts exogenously added aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to the corresponding alcohol using glucose, pyruvate, and/or hydrogen as the source of reductant. By heterologous coexpression of a membrane-bound carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, CO is used as a reductant for converting carboxylic acids to alcoholsThe AOR/AdhA pathway is a potentially game-changing strategy for syngas fermentation, especially in combination with carbon chain elongation pathways
overexpression of the endogenous zwf gene, which encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of the pentose phosphate pathway, in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 results in increased NADPH production, and promoted biomass production. Ethanol production by alcohol dehydrogenase YqhD is increased in autotrophic conditions by zwf overexpression
