Comments
This enzyme belongs to the human zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase class.
Although this enzyme binds two zinc ions, only one zinc is involved in catalysis. This enzyme catalyzes the similar reaction to that of its homologous enzyme (D00001 in EzCatDB). The hydride transfer reaction proceeds as follows:
(0) Catalytic zinc ion, which is bound to Cys46, His67 and Cys174 and the hydroxyl group of the substrate alcohol, may lower the pKa of the hydroxyl oxygen of the alcohol, facilitating its deprotonation.
(1) His51 may act as a general base to deprotonate the hydroxyl oxygen, through 2'-hydroxyl group of NAD+ ribose and Thr48 by a proton relay system, leading to an alkoxide transition-state.
(2) The hydrogen is transferred from the carbon atom of alcohol to the nicotinamide group in the NAD+. Thus, hydride transfer occurs.
