Description
This medium chain zinc-containing enzyme of the dehydrogenase/reductase family is NADPH-dependent. It has been shown to reduce acetaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde to their corresponding alcohols (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22731523).
Notes
No detailed design was done in the creation of this part, other than the design of primers to amplify the gene. The choice of gene was due to its broad-spectrum reduction of aldehydes, which we hoped would allow us to reduce isovaleraldehyde to isoamyl alcohol.
Source
This part was amplified by PCR from the New England Biolabs top 10 strain of Escherichia coli.
