Mr 115,000 SDH Substrate Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) will oxidize D-sorbitol to D-fructose + NADH + H+ D-sorbitol + specificity, relative fructose (Km = 0.7 mM; relative rate = 1.00). The + NAD rates and Km enzyme will also oxidize many other polyols, including L-iditiol to L-sorbose (rate = 0.96), xylitol to D-xylulose (rate = 0.85), ribitol to D-ribulose (rate = 0.49) and Unit definition One unit (U) sorbitol dehydrogenase will reduce allitol to allulose (rate = 0.45). SDH also catalyzes the 1 ␮mol of D-fructose in 1 min at 25° C and pH 7.6 reverse (reduction) reactions of each of the above. The [triethanolamine buffer; 150 mM fructose (non- Km for fructose is 250-300 mM. SDH is specific for saturating concentration)]. The above assay consumes NAD(H); it will utilize NADP(H) only at a 10- to 100-fold 1 ␮mol of NADH per ␮mol of D-sorbitol formed. reduced rate. The enzyme does not oxidize erythritol, D- or L-arabitol, D-iditol, D-mannitol or inositol. SDH References does not reduce D-tagatose, D-mannoheptulose, D-glucose, DL-glyceraldehyde, pyruvate, 2-oxolutarate or acetaldehyde. 1 Bergmeyer, H.U., Grassl, M. & Walter, H-E (1983) in Methods of Enzymatic Analysis (Bergmeyer, H.U., ed), 3rd Ed, Vol. 2, pp. 309-310, VCH, Weinheim, W.

For instance, the saturating concentration of fructose is higher in Tris buffer than in triethanolamine3. • The oxidation of xylitol to xylulose (as well as the oxidation of D-sorbitol) is favored by alkaline pH.
