ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0014-5793(99)00520-7 | Abstract: | A second and novel cis-benzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase which is able to dehydrogenate a range of cis-dihydrodiols and other vicinal alcohols has been purified from Pseudomonas putida ML2. The enzyme is a tetramer of a polypeptide of 39 kDa in molecular mass and has a pH optimum of 9.0. Despite having a primary structure that has significant similarity to glycerol dehydrogenases, the k(cat)/K(m) value of the enzyme for cis-benzene dihydrodiol is 4300-fold higher compared to glycerol. The apparent K(m) values of the enzyme for cis-benzene dihydrodiol and glycerol are 0.01 mM and 46 mM, respectively, and 0.22 mM for NAD+.
