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.

Kinetic behavior of Desulfovibrio gigas aldehyde oxidoreductase encapsulated in reverse micelles [PDF]
We report the kinetic behavior of the enzyme aldehyde oxidoreductase (AOR) from the sulfate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas (Dg) encapsulated in reverse micelles of sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate in isooctane using benzaldehyde, octaldehyde, and decylaldehyde as substrates.

Membrane electrochemical reactors (MER) for NADH regeneration in HLADH-catalysed synthesis: comparison of effectiveness [PDF]
Two membrane electrochemical reactors(MER) were designed and applied to HLADH-catalysed reduction of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol. The regeneration of the cofactor NADH was ensured electrochemically, using either methyl viologen or a rhodium complex as

Reduction of Carboxylic Acids by Nocardia Aldehyde Oxidoreductase Requires a Phosphopantetheinylated Enzyme [PDF]
Aldehyde oxidoreductase (carboxylic acid reductase (Car)) catalyzes the magnesium-, ATP-, and NADPH-dependent reduction of carboxylic acids to their corresponding aldehydes. Heterologous expression of the car gene in Escherichia coli afforded purified recombinant enzyme with a specific activity nearly 50-fold lower than that of purified native Nocardia

AbstractAldehyde 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 betaproteobacteriumAromatoleum aromaticum(AORAa) consists of three different subunits (AorABC) and utilizes NAD as electron acceptor ...

The History of Desulfovibrio gigas Aldehyde Oxidoreductase—A Personal View
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 ...

Mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. [PDF]
A mathematical model of the Lux luminescence system, governed by the operon luxCDABE in the terrestrial bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, was constructed using a set of coupled ordinary differential equations.

Functional characterization of SlscADH1, a fruit-ripening associated short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase of tomato [PDF]
A tomato short-chain dehydrogenase-reductase (SlscADH1) is preferentially expressed in fruit with a maximum expression at the breaker stage while expression in roots, stems, leaves and flowers is very weak.
