- Polyvinyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor)
In
enzymology , a polyvinyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor) (EC number|1.1.99.23) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :polyvinyl alcohol + acceptor ightleftharpoons oxidized polyvinyl alcohol + reduced acceptor
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
polyvinyl alcohol andacceptor , whereas its two products areoxidized polyvinyl alcohol andreduced acceptor .This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is polyvinyl-alcohol:acceptor oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include PVA dehydrogenase, and polyvinyl-alcohol:(acceptor) oxidoreductase. It employs one cofactor,PQQ .References
