Description: The proceedings of the June 1990 workshop at Purdue U. It is apparent how molecular biological techniques are influencing the direction of the research on the three families of enzymes discussed: aldehyde dehydrogenase, aldo-keto reductase, and alcohol dehydrogenase. It is also apparent that not all biochemical problems can be solved by using these techniques, and many presentations show how important advances can still be made using more traditional biochemical approaches.
