Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which is a homotetramer assembled by two equivalent dimers, is an important enzyme that metabolizes ethanol-derived acetaldehyde to acetate in a coenzyme-dependent manner. The highly reactive acetaldehyde exhibits a toxic effect, indicating that the proper functioning of ALDH2 is essential to counteract aldehyde-associated diseases. It is known that the catalytic...
