Abstract
⺠Ari1p reduces furan aldehydes to their less toxic alcohols in yeast. ⺠At equilibrium, reactions favor the alcohol and NADP+. ⺠Keq [NADP+][furfuryl alcohol]/[NADPH][furfural][H+] = 5600 x 107 M-1. ⺠Catalyzed reactions are equilibrium ordered: NADPH binds first and NADP+ leaves last. ⺠Microscopic rate constants indicate release of products is 84% rate-limiting to kcat.
