Abstract excerpt
Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) catalyzes the last step in the synthesis of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine from choline. Although betaine aldehyde has been thought to be a specific substrate for BADH, recent studies have shown that human and sugar beet BADHs also catalyze the oxidation of omega-aminoaldehydes. To characterize the kinetic and stability properties of spinach BADH, five kinds of expression...
