Abstract
Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH; EC 1.1.1.1) is today one of the most thoroughly investigated enzymes. Since its crystallization in 1948 (1) many authors have studied its properties in great details: the Swedish school, first with Theorell and then with Brändén and their co-workers, has extensively reviewed our knowledges on this and related dehydrogenases (2, 3). The active form of LADH is known to be dimeric and its three-dimensional structure has been solved at 2.4 Å resolution (4).
