ENTRY       EC 1.2.99.6
NAME        Carboxylate reductase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors
            With other acceptors
SYSNAME     Aldehyde:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
REACTION    an Aldehyde + Acceptor + H2O = a Carboxylate + Reduced acceptor
SUBSTRATE   Aldehyde
            Acceptor
            H2O
            Methyl viologen
PRODUCT     Carboxylate
            Reduced acceptor
COFACTOR    Tungsten
COMMENT     A tungsten protein.  Methyl viologen can act as acceptor.  In the
            reverse direction, non-activated acids are reduced by reduced
            viologens to aldehydes, but not to the corresponding alcohols.
