Abstract
Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HL-ADH) is a broad specificity enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of a wide range of both primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones (Figure 1). The reaction mechanism and kinetics of the enzyme have been extensively characterized and its 3-dimensional structure is known (for a review see Pettersson, 1987).
