One of the enzymes from bakers' yeast that catalyzes the reduction of alpha- and beta-keto esters has been studied. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme shows that the enzyme belongs to the aldo-keto reductase superfamily. The substrate specificity of the enzyme is broad and resembles those of other aldo-keto reductases. The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of keto esters, aldehydes, and aldohexoses.
人们已经对来自面包酵母的一种催化α-和β-酮酯还原反应的酶进行了研究。该酶的N端氨基酸序列表明它属于醛酮还原酶超家族。该酶的底物特异性很广，与其他醛酮还原酶相似。它能催化酮酯、醛和己醛糖的还原反应。
