| Official Name |
|---|
| Aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| AOR. |
| Tungsten-containing aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| An aldehyde + H(2)O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin <=> an acid + 2 H(+) + 2 reduced ferredoxin |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Iron-sulfur; Tungsten-molybdopterin.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This is an oxygen-sensitive enzyme.
- Catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes (including crotonaldehyde,
acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and glyceraldehyde) to their corresponding
acids.
- However, it does not oxidize glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (see
EC 1.2.7.6).
- Can use ferredoxin or methyl viologen but not NAD(P)(+) as electron
acceptor.
