GldA- Overview
The Gene gldA encodes glycerol dehydrogenase from Escherichicha coli. The overexpression of glycerol dehydrogenase in E. coli can be used as a way for endogenous mediator production. Many derivates of glycerol dehydrogenase are small, water-soluble redoxmolecules, which have mediator properties. In enzymology, a glycerol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.6) is an enzyme belonging to the family of oxireductases that catalyzes the chemical reaction: Glycerol + NAD+ --> Glycerone + NADH + H+ with NADH as the main endogenous mediator.
