| Abstract | |
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) catalyze the reversible oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corre-sponding aldehydes or carboxylic acids and ketones, respec-tively, under mild conditions, which may minimize the environmental impact compared to the traditional chemical counterpart. In this short review, we briefly report recent ad-vances in the development of ADH-catalyzed oxidation employed both as single biocatalysts but also in multienzyme cascades of reactions. Current bottlenecks, prospects, and future outlooks in the field are addressed. (AU) | |
