| Abstract: | Alcohol dehydrogenase (alcohol: NAD oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.1.1.1.) was purified from Thea sinensis seeds. Its M.W was 95000 and it was composed of two homogeneous subunits with MWs of 47000. The dissociation into subunits was caused by o-phenanthroline. Substrate specificity for monoterpene alcohols and aldehydes is discussed. |
