Glucuronic acid dehydrogenase (GluUADH) from the bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens has potential for converting seaweed biomass into fuels and chemicals.
GluUADH catalyzes the oxidation of glucuronic acid and prefers NAD(+) as a cofactor over NADP(+).
The enzyme's crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction, achieving a resolution of 2.1 Å, and refinement of the structure is ongoing.
