Molecular evolutionary insight of structural zinc atom in yeast xylitol dehydrogenases and its application in bioethanol production by lignocellulosic biomass
Abstract Xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidization of xylitol into d-xylulose, and belongs to a zinc-dependent medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. This protein family consists of enzymes with one or two zinc atoms per subunit, among which catalytic zinc is necessa...
