ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) is a enzymes for biofuel cell research.

• Purified by crystallisation
• Solids containing ≤2% citrate buffer salts
• Soluble in water (1,0 mg/ml) - clear to slightly hazy, colourless to faintly yellow
• Extinction Coefficient: E(1%) = 14,6 (water, 280 nm)

Alcohol dehydrogenase is a tetramer containing 4 equal subunits. The active site of each subunit contains a zinc atom. Each active site also contains 2 reactive sulphydryl groups and a histidine residue. Contains bound β-NAD and β-NADH and is not suitable for the recycling microassay of β-NAD and β-NADH.

Compounds that react with free sulfhydryls, including N-alkylmaleimides and iodoacetamide. Zinc chelator inhibitors, including 1,10-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2′-dipyridyl, and thiourea inhibits the enzymic activity.

Synonyms: ADH, alcohol dehydrogenase from yeast, alcohol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase.
