Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03104445A1] The present invention concerns a novel aldehyde dehydrogenase having the following physico-chemical properties: a molecular weight of 190,000 ± 15,000 Da which comprises a subunit structure of two alpha subunits and one beta subunit, or a molecular weight of 250,000 ± 20,000 Da which comprises a subunit structure of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits, in which the alpha subunit has a molecular weight of 75,000 ± 3,000 Da and the beta subunit has a molecular weight of 55,000 ± 2,000 Da; dehydrogenase activity on L-sorbosone, D-glucosone, D-glucose and D-xylose; utilizes as cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone and heme c; has an optimum pH of from about 6.5 to about 8.0 for the production of vitamin C and an optimum pH of about 9.0 for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid from L-sorbosone; and is inhibited by Co<2+>, Cu<2+>, Fe<3+>, Ni<2+>, Zn<2+>, Mg<2+>, monoiodoacetate, and sodium azide.
