Produktinformation

• Name: (Z)-Cinnamyl Alcohol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: (Z)-Cinnamyl Alcohol is an enzyme in the lignin biosynthesis pathway, which is responsible for the conversion of cinnamic acid to cinnamyl alcohol. The enzyme can be found in plants and has been shown to have anti-infective properties. The reaction mechanism involves a reversible oxidation followed by a dehydration of the substrate. There are two types of dehydrogenases that are involved in this process: alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD). These enzymes catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of aldehydes, ketones, or fatty acids to form carboxylic acids with the concomitant release of hydrogen. CAD is a flavoprotein that is active under aerobic conditions and reacts with oxygen, NADPH, and reduced ferredoxin to produce NADP+. ADH converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, but it also reacts with other organic molecules such as methanol and n
