ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE FROM DROSOPHILA LEBANONENSIS
Overview
Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (DADH; EC 1.1.1.1) is a NAD(H)-dependent, oxidoreductase belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases, (SDR) family. This homodimeric enzyme catalyzes the dehydrogenation of, alcohols to their respective ketones or aldehydes in the fruit-fly, Drosophila, both for metabolic assimilation and detoxification purposes., The crystal structure of the apo form of DADH, one of the first, biochemically characterized member of the SDR family, was solved at 1.9 A, resolution by Patterson methods. The initial model was improved by, crystallographic refinement accompanied by electron density averaging, R-factor=20.5%, R-free=23.8%.DADH subunits show an alpha/beta single, domain structure with a characteristic NAD(H) binding motif (Rossmann, fold). The peptide ... [(full description)]
