Component
Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase I / ADH1
Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase I / ADH1. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.
2 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
In the closed subunits the catalytic zinc holds the substrate oxygen in classical tetrahedral coordination with Cys-43, Cys-153 and His-66, while in the open subunits the zinc takes an inverted coordination that adds the carboxylate of Glu-67, which may be an intermediate in displacing the zinc-bound water with the alcohol substrate.
