Abstract excerpt
Lipid peroxidation is one of the consequences of environmental stress in plants and leads to the accumulation of highly toxic, reactive aldehydes. One of the processes to detoxify these aldehydes is their oxidation into carboxylic acids catalyzed by NAD(P)+-dependent ALDHs (aldehyde dehydrogenases). We investigated kinetic parameters of two Arabidopsis thaliana family 3 ALDHs, the cytosolic ALDH3H1 and the...
