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 ...

Immobilization and stabilization of alcohol dehydrogenase on polyvinyl alcohol fibre [PDF]
A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibrous carrier has been chemically modified for the immobilization of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with an aim to increase its stability over a wide pH range, prolong its activity upon storage, and enhance its reusability.

Binding of coenzymes to yeast alcohol dehydrogenase [PDF]
In this work, the binding of coenzymes to yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were investigated. The main criterions were the change in the standard free energies for individual reaction steps, the internal equilibrium constants and the overall ...

Protein thermal stability in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory: Exploring protein thermal stability with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase. [PDF]
Abstract We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes.

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
