Abstract excerpt
Histidine at position 51 of the class I beta 1 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) functions as a general base by indirectly abstracting a proton from the alcohol substrate through a hydrogen-bonded proton relay system. The human class II pi-ADH was reported to be polymorphic, having either Ser or Thr, but not His at position 51. It is unknown whether Ser or Thr51 have a catalytic role in ethanol oxidation with pi-ADH....
