Properties
Description
Formate dehydrogenase is a ubiquitous enzyme in Candida boidinii that catalyzes formate to convert to CO2.
Molecular Weight
41.3 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of formate dehydrogenase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert one µmole of formic acid to NADH2 CO2 per minute in the presence of NAD+ in potassium phosphate buffer (41 mM), pH 7.6 at 25°C.
Applications
Formate Dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii can be used to measure formate industries and for the regeneration of NADH during reductive biotransformations.
