High impact information on ycdW

  • Use of this sequence in a subsequent BLAST search yielded the ycdW gene as a good candidate to encode glyoxylate reductase in this bacterium [1].
  • Cloning and overexpression of the ycdW gene showed that its product displayed a high NADPH-linked glyoxylate reductase activity, and also catalysed the reduction of hydroxypyruvate with a lower efficiency [1].
