A novel 2-phenylethanol dehydrogenase has been purified from a soil bacterium Brevibacterium sp. KU 1309. The enzyme was purified about 1400-fold to homogeneity, and found to be a monomeric enzyme of apparent 39 kDa. The enzyme had broad substrate specificity and catalyzes a reversible oxidation of various primary alcohols to aldehydes. The enzyme required NAD+, but not NADP+ as a cofactor. Thus, the enzyme was classified into a group of NAD+-dependent primary alcohol dehydrogenase. The activity was inhibited by Cu2+, Ni2+, Ba2+, Hg2+ and p-chloromercuribenzoate. The enzyme is expected to be applicable as an effective biocatalyst in the oxidation of various alcohols.
一种新型的2-苯乙醇脱氢酶已从土壤细菌短杆菌属菌株KU 1309中纯化出来。该酶被纯化至约1400倍的纯度且达到均一性,发现它是一种表观分子量为39 kDa的单体酶。该酶具有广泛的底物特异性,可催化各种伯醇可逆氧化为醛。该酶需要NAD⁺作为辅因子,而不需要NADP⁺。因此,该酶被归类为NAD⁺依赖性伯醇脱氢酶。其活性受到Cu²⁺、Ni²⁺、Ba²⁺、Hg²⁺和对氯汞苯甲酸的抑制。预计该酶可作为各种醇氧化的有效生物催化剂。
