| Abstract | NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activity was detected in cell-free crude extracts from various propane-grown bacteria. Two NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenases, one which preferred primary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase I) and another which preferred secondary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase II), were found in propane-grown Pseudomonas fluorescens NRRL B-1244 and were separated from each other by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The properties of alcohol dehydrogenase I resembled those of well-known primary alcohol dehydrogenases. Alcohol dehydrogenase II was purified 46-fold; it was homogeneous as judged by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of this secondary alcohol dehydrogenase is 144,500; it consisted of four subunits per molecule of enzyme protein. It oxidized secondary alcohols, notably, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, and 2-pentanol. Primary alcohols and diols were also oxidized, but at a lower rate. Alcohols with more than six carbon atoms were not oxidized. The pH and temperature optima for secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity were 8 to 9 and 60 to 70 degrees C, respectively. The activation energy calculated from an Arrhenius plot was 8.2 kcal (ca. 34 kJ). The Km values at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, were 8.2 X 10(-6) M for NAD and 8.5 X 10(-5) M for 2-propanol. The secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity was inhibited by strong thiol reagents and strong metal-chelating agents such as 4-hydroxymercuribenzoate, 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline, and 1,10-phenanthroline. The enzyme oxidized the stereoisomers of 2-butanol at an equal rate. Alcohol dehydrogenase II had good thermal stability and the ability to catalyze reactions at high temperature (85 degrees C). It appears to have properties distinct from those of previously described primary and secondary alcohol dehydrogenases. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
