Abstract excerpt
Nicotinoproteins are a group of NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases that bind NAD+ tightly and catalyze reactions without using free NAD+. In this study, we investigated the role of the unique insertion loop in nicotinoproteins. Carveol dehydrogenase (CADh), a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) nicotinoprotein, and β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Alcaligenes faecalis (AfBHBDh), a non-nicotinoprotein...
