Direct electrochemistry of the Desulfovibrio gigas aldehyde oxidoreductase [PDF]
This work reports on the direct electrochemistry of the Desulfovibrio gigas aldehyde oxidoreductase (DgAOR), a molybdenum enzyme of the xanthine oxidase family that contains three redox‐active cofactors: two [2Fe‐2S] centers and a molybdopterin cytosine dinucleotide cofactor.

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.

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

Novel NADP-linked alcohol–aldehyde/ketone oxidoreductase in thermophilic ethanologenic bacteria [PDF]
An NADP-specific alcohol--aldehyde/ketone oxidoreductase was detected in cell extracts of Thermoanaerobium brockii and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum, but not in Thermobacteroides acetoethylicus or Clostridium thermocellum. The enzyme was purified from Ta. brockii by differential procedures that included heat treatment and an affinity-chromatography

NMR Identification of an Acyl-adenylate Intermediate in the Aryl-aldehyde Oxidoreductase Catalyzed Reaction [PDF]
A new one-pot synthesis was designed to prepare benzoyl-AMP under anhydrous conditions in N,N-dimethylformamide. Reaction of benzoic acid with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole and subsequently with 5'-adenosyl monophosphate gave the mixed anhydride in 76% isolated yield. The structure of benzoyl-AMP was confirmed by mass spectroscopy and 1H-, 31P-, and 13C-NMR.

A bacterial tungsten-containing aldehyde oxidoreductase forms an enzymatic decorated protein nanowire [PDF]
Abstract 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 (AOR

Investigation of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) [PDF]
Molybdo-flavoenzymes (MFEs), aldehyde oxidase (AOX) and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) are involved in the oxidation of N-heterocyclic compounds and aldehydes, many of which are environmental pollutants, drugs and vitamins. This biotransformation generally generates more polar compounds that are more easily excreted, thus MFEs have been classed as ...

Combinatorial application of two aldehyde oxidoreductases on isobutanol production in the presence of furfural [PDF]
Abstract Furfural is a toxic by-product formulated from pretreatment processes of lignocellulosic biomass. In order to utilize the lignocellulosic biomass on isobutanol production, inhibitory effect of the furfural on isobutanol production was investigated and combinatorial application of two oxidoreductases, FucO and YqhD, was suggested

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.
