Alcohol Dehydrogenase

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme found in many organisms that catalyzes the reaction of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. It is a key enzyme in the metabolism of alcohols and its activity is essential in maintaining normal blood alcohol levels in the human body. ADH is also used in many industrial and academic processes, such as the production of biofuel, for enzymatic synthesis of important organic compounds and for bioremediation of contaminated environments.
