Abstract
Mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) constitute a well-studied enzyme system composed of sub-forms at different levels of multiplicity. The family has diverged into a number of different enzymes. At the next level (Fig. 1), fairly different forms (“classes”) of alcohol dehydrogenase, with distinct structural and enzymatic properties, occur. The subsequent level constitutes still more similar forms (“isozymes”) with gradual differences in properties and fewer residue exchanges.
