Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus methanolicus methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) is a decameric nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase (family III) with one Zn(2+) ion, one or two Mg(2+) ions, and a tightly bound cofactor NAD(H) per subunit. The Mg(2+) ions are essential for binding of cofactor NAD(H) in MDH. A B. methanolicus activator protein strongly stimulates the relatively low coenzyme NAD(+)-dependent MDH activity, involving...
