Abstract
The hydride transfer catalyzed by thermophilic alcohol dehydrogenase (htADH) exhibits sharply different kinetic and activation parameters from that catalyzed by the more flexible psychrophilic alcohol dehydrogenase (psADH). In addition, the hydride transfer in htADH is affected by mutating two distal residues that are suggested to be responsible for the decreased local protein flexibility in htADH. These observations provide support for the view that protein dynamics is tightly coupled to the hydrogen-transfer processes in these enzymes.
