Two highly divergent alcohol dehydrogenases of melon exhibit fruit ripening-specific expression and distinct biochemical characteristics [PDF]

, 2006
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) participate in the biosynthetic pathway of aroma volatiles in fruit by interconverting aldehydes to alcohols and providing substrates for the formation of esters.

An Alcohol Dehydrogenase 3 (ADH3) from Entamoeba histolytica Is Involved in the Detoxification of Toxic Aldehydes

Microorganisms, 2020
Recently, a putative alcohol dehydrogenase 3, termed EhADH3B of the Entamoeba histolytica isolate HM-1:IMSS was identified, which is expressed at higher levels in non-pathogenic than in pathogenic amoebae and whose overexpression reduces the virulence of

Prevention of Protein Glycation by Natural Compounds [PDF]

, 2015
Non-enzymatic protein glycosylation (glycation) contributes to many diseases and aging of organisms. It can be expected that inhibition of glycation may prolong the lifespan.

Structural insights into catalytic mechanism and product delivery of cyanobacterial acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase

Nature Communications, 2020
Acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (AAR) and aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) are the two enzymes in a cyanobacterial alkane biosynthesis pathway that is of interest for biofuel production.

Fatty aldehydes in cyanobacteria are a metabolically flexible precursor for a diversity of biofuel products. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
We describe how pathway engineering can be used to convert a single intermediate derived from lipid biosynthesis, fatty aldehydes, into a variety of biofuel precursors including alkanes, free fatty acids and wax esters.
