Polyol specificity of recombinant arabidopsis thaliana sorbitol dehydrogenase studied by enzyme kinetics and in silico modeling

Abstract

Polyols are enzymatically-produced plant compounds which can act as compatible solutes during periods of abiotic stress. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide+-dependent SORB ITOL DEHYDROGENASE (SDH, E. C. 1.1.1.14) from Arabidopsis thaliana L. sorbitol dehy
