Characterization of human oxidoreductases involved in aldehyde odorant metabolism [PDF]
Oxidoreductases are major enzymes of xenobiotic metabolism. Consequently, they are essential in the chemoprotection of the human body. Many xenobiotic metabolism enzymes have been shown to be involved in chemosensory tissue protection.

Nicotinoprotein [NAD(P)‐containing] alcohol/aldehyde oxidoreductases [PDF]
Extracts of Gram‐positive bacteria like Rhodococcus rhodochrous, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Amycolatopsis methanolica, but not those of several Gram‐negative ones, showed dehydrogenase activity for ethanol as well as for methanol when 4‐nitroso‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (NDMA) was used as electron acceptor.

A bacterial tungsten-containing aldehyde oxidoreductase forms an enzymatic decorated protein nanowire [PDF]
Aldehyde oxidoreductases (AOR) are tungsten enzymes catalysing the oxidation of many different aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. In contrast to other known AORs, the enzyme from the denitrifying betaproteobacterium Aromatoleum aromaticum ...

Minimal aromatic aldehyde reduction (MARE) yeast platform for engineering vanillin production [PDF]
Background Vanillin represents one of the most widely used flavoring agents in the world. However, microbial synthesis of vanillin is hindered by the host native metabolism that could rapidly degrade vanillin to the byproducts.

Electrocatalytic Aldehyde Oxidation by a Tungsten Dependent Aldehyde Oxidoreductase from Aromatoleum Aromaticum [PDF]
AbstractIn contrast to their molybdenum dependent relatives, tungsten enzymes operate at significantly lower redox potentials, and in some cases they can carry out reversible redox transformations of their substrates and products. Still, the electrochemical properties of W enzymes have received much less attention than their Mo relatives.

The History of Desulfovibrio gigas Aldehyde Oxidoreductase—A Personal View [PDF]
A story going back almost 40 years is presented in this manuscript. This is a different and more challenging way of reporting my research and I hope it will be useful to and target a wide-ranging audience. When preparing the manuscript and collecting references on the subject of this paper—aldehyde oxidoreductase from Desulfovibrio gigas—I felt like I ...

Tungsten‐containing aldehyde oxidoreductase of Eubacterium acidaminophilum [PDF]
Aldehyde oxidoreductase of Eubacterium acidaminophilum was purified to homogeneity under strict anaerobic conditions using a four‐step procedure. The purified enzyme was present as a monomer with an apparent molecular mass of 67 kDa and contained 6.0 ± 0.1 iron, 1.1 ± 0.2 tungsten, about 0.6 mol pterin cofactor and zinc, but no molybdenum.

Molybdenum Incorporation in Tungsten Aldehyde Oxidoreductase Enzymes from Pyrococcus furiosus [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus expresses five aldehyde oxidoreductase (AOR) enzymes, all containing a tungsto-bispterin cofactor. The growth of this organism is fully dependent on the presence of tungsten in the growth medium.
