Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase structure and catalysis. [PDF]
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADH1) is the constitutive enzyme that reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol during the fermentation of glucose. ADH1 is a homotetramer of subunits with 347 amino acid residues. A structure for ADH1 was determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.4 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit contains four different

High-Throughput Screening of Industrial Brewing Yeast with Lower Synthetic Level of Acetaldehyde During Beer Production [PDF]
The high level of acetaldehyde produced by yeast is a significant concern for all enterprises of beer production. To obtain industrial beer yeast strains with low ability to produce acetaldehyde, a multi-step screening strategy was established, using ...

Isomerization of an enzyme-coenzyme complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalysed reactions [PDF]
In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ºC, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the

Recombinant yeast for production of the pain receptor modulator nonivamide from vanillin
We report on the development of a method based on recombinant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce nonivamide, a capsaicinoid and potent agonist of the pain receptor TRPV1. Nonivamide was produced in a two-step batch process where yeast was i) grown

High-throughput screening for growth inhibitors using a yeast model of familial paraganglioma. [PDF]
Classical tumor suppressor genes block neoplasia by regulating cell growth and death. A remarkable puzzle is therefore presented by familial paraganglioma (PGL), a neuroendocrine cancer where the tumor suppressor genes encode subunits of succinate ...

Resurrecting ancestral alcohol dehydrogenases from yeast [PDF]
Modern yeast living in fleshy fruits rapidly convert sugars into bulk ethanol through pyruvate. Pyruvate loses carbon dioxide to produce acetaldehyde, which is reduced by alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (Adh1) to ethanol, which accumulates. Yeast later consumes the accumulated ethanol, exploiting Adh2, an Adh1 homolog differing by 24 (of 348) amino acids.
