Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that facilitates the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the metabolism of alcohol in the body and can be found across a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, yeast, plants, and animals. It is typically a zinc-containing enzyme that can be found as a dimer or tetramer. The enzyme's active site usually includes a zinc ion, which is essential for its catalytic activity.
