Title: Metablites of acid V. Isolation and properties of alcohol dehydrogenase
Abstract: An aryl alcohol dehydrogenase (aryl alcohol: NADP+oxidoreductase. EC 1.1.1.91), that catalyzes the interconversion of benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde as well as the oxidation of p-aminobenzyl alcohol has been isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells (American Type Culture Collection No. 607) grown in the presence of p-aminobenzoic acid. The partially purified enzyme shows a major peak with a minor contaminating component upon ultracentrifugation. The enzyme shows a broad substrate specificity and is sensitive to the buffer composition. The enzyme is inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and 1,10-o-phenanthroline. The apparent Km values and the calculation of the approximate equilibrium constant are also presented.
