V. Leskovac et al., NOVEL SUBSTRATES OF YEAST ALCOHOL-DEHYDROGENASE - 3 - 4-DIMETHYLAMINO-CINNAMALDEHYDE AND CHLOROACETALDEHYDE, Biochemistry and molecular biology international, 43(2), 1997, pp. 365-373
4-Dimethylamino-transcinnamaldehyde and chloroacetaldehyde are novel s
ubstrates of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1). In the present
work, we have reported the steady-state kinetic constants for both sub
strates, and their chemical reactions with the enzyme protein itself.
Both substrates are potentially useful for biotechnology, chemoenzyme
syntheses and analytical biochemistry.
