Abstract:
The coenzyme stereospecificities in the reaction of glycerol dehydrogenases (GDH) from various microbial sources have been determined. It is found that the nicotinamide-coenzymes (NADH and NADPH) employed by GDHs from eucaryotes exert the pro-S specificity, whereas those employed by procaryotes exert the pro-R specificity. The stereospecificity of the coenzyme seems to have a correlation with chemical evolution of GDH as well as biological evolution of the host organism.
