Alcohol dehydrogenase

170263795:

Alcohol dehydrogenase (or ADH) is a class of [[Enzyme|enzyme]], which is best known for the (reversible) conversion of [[Ethanol|ethanol]] to [[Acetaldehyde|acetylaldehyde]] (or ethanol) in the liver in humans. There are other ADH that catalyse the conversion of other alcohols to [[Ketone|ketones]] and [[Aldehyde|aldehydes]]. ADH is found in many organisms since [[Ethanol|ethanol]] is a rather ubiquitous molecule, as it is produced during [[Fermentation|fermentation]]. Depending on the ADH, either the forward reaction or the reverse reaction may be favoured. It is a [[Dimer|dimeric]] [[Enzyme|enzyme]] with a turnover of 1200 molecules per second, and can use [[NAD+|NAD+]] or NADP+. The ADH in [[Yeast|yeast]], which was the first discovered, is far larger and more effective than the ADH in animals <ref>Stamp S fastbleep (2014) [online] available at http://www.fastbleep.com/biology-notes/40/116/1196 accessed on: 26th November 2014.</ref>.

170263795: This enzyme catalyses the interconversion of ethanol and acetaldehyde (ethanal) using NAD+ as hydrogen acceptor. The diagram shows the structural formula of each compound involved and how it is a reversible reaction.
