[Kinetic studies on long-chain alcohol turnover by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase within the transition from real solution to emulsion or suspension].
The enzymatic oxidation of hexanol, decanol, and tetradecanol by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was studied. The enzyme was found to catalyze not only conversion in the real aqueous solution of the substrates, but also at the surface of undissolved substrate particles. The kinetic parameters varied on transition from the real solution to dispersion, in dependence on the chain length of the substrate.
