| Application: | Formate Dehydrogenase (FDH) is used for diagnostics in large scale industrial processes. Its used in the production of an unnatural amino acid, tert-L-leucine, a component of some HIV protease and matrix metalloprotease inhibitors. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Formate dehydrogenase is an abundant enzyme from yeast Candida boidinii (CbFDH) that plays an important role in the energy supply of methylotrophic microorganisms and in the stress response of plants. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Formate dehydrogenase is involved in the stress response of plants and catalyzes the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. |
| Other Notes: | One unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of formate to CO2 per min in the presence of β-NAD at pH 7.6 at 37 °C. |
