Alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1. 1.1) from rat liver may be obtained in multiple forms and the electrophoretie pattern is influenced by the pretreatment, eg by thiols [l]. The explanation of the multiple forms is unknown but the effect of thiols may at least in some of these cases suggest a role of cysteine residues. These have not been fully characterized in the enzyme but one cysteine difference is known between the rat and horse proteins [2]. The determination of the number of cysteine (or half-cystine) residues in rat liver alcohol dehydrogenase is therefore of special interest in the structural study of the enzyme and is reported in the present work. 16 Unique carboxymethylcysteine(CM-cysteine) residues were found in the polypeptide chain of the reduced and [14C1 carboxymethylated protein and the amino acid sequences around them are given.
