| Alkan-1-ol dehydrogenase (acceptor).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase. |

|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Acts on C(3)-C(16) linear-chain saturated primary alcohols, C(4)-C(7)
aldehydes and on non-ionic surfactants containing polyethylene glycol
residues, such as Tween 40 and 60, but not on methanol and only very
slowly on ethanol.
