Abstract
1. The reduction of NAD(+), by an enzyme preparation from rat liver, in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol is reported. 2. It is suggested that the NAD(+)-linked alcohol dehydrogenase in the extract transfers hydrogen from 2-mercaptoethanol to NAD(+). 3. Both yeast and horse-liver alcohol dehydrogenases were observed to reduce NAD(+) in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. 4. Some interactions of 2-mercaptoethanol, cysteine or hydroxylamine with the alcohol dehydrogenases from rat liver, horse liver and yeast are discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
