Glycerol dehydrogenase: Structure, specificity, and mechanism of a family III polyol dehydrogenase
Background: Bacillus stearothermophilus glycerol dehydrogenase (GlyDH) (glycerol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.6) catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone (1,3-dihydroxypropanone) with concomitant reduction of NAD+ to NADH. Analysis of the sequence of this enzyme indicates that it i...
