| Abstract | The presence of a nonspecific NADPH-linked aldehyde reductase (alcohol:NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.2) was observed in various areas of bovine brain in vitro. In the midbrain, hypothalamus, and pons, the rate of NADPH oxidation, with p-nitrobenzaldehyde as substrate, was approximately 4.0 nmoles per min per mg of protein; but somewhat lower values were obtained when other regions of the brain were studied. It was found that the enzyme was localized primarily in the soluble supernatant fraction of rat brain homogenates.The enzyme from bovine brain was purified approximately 120-fold and was found to catalyze the reduction of a number of aldehydes, including substituted benzaldehydes, substituted phenylacetaldehydes, and some long chain aliphatic aldehydes. Short chain aliphatic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde or propionaldehyde were not reduced by the enzyme. With p-nitrobenzaldehyde as substrate, NADPH, but not NADH, was oxidized by bovine brain aldehyde reductase. The pH optimum for the enzyme was found to be 6.75 for aldehyde reduction, whereas the rate of oxidation of p-hydroxyphenylethanol, with NADP as cosubstrate, was optimal at pH 9.7. Km values for various substrates ranged from 3.7 x 10-6 m to 1.4 x 10-4 m. Km values for various substituted benzaldehydes were correlated with the electropositive nature of the carbonyl carbon atom by the Hammet σ-ρ relationship.Oxidation of NADPH by the partially purified enzyme was inhibited approximately 50% by 0.1 mm concentrations of amytal, phenobarbital, or chlorpromazine. The enzyme activity was not altered, however, by 10 mm pyrazole. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
