Mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase, a prokaryotic medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase, phylogenetically links different eukaryotic alcohol dehydrogenases - primary structure, conformational modeling and functional correlations.

Mycothiol, 1-O-(2'-(N-Acetyl-L-Cysteinyl)Amido-2'-Deoxy-Alpha-D-Glucopyranosyl)-D-myo-Inositol, is the factor of NAD/factor-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase.
