Abstract
An alcohol dehydrogenase from Candida parapsilosis CCTCC M203011 was characterized along with its biochemical activity and structural gene. The amino acid sequence shows similarity to those of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases but no overall identity to known proteins. This enzyme with unusual stereospecificity catalyzes an anti-Prelog reduction of 2-hydroxyacetophenone to (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol.Entities:
