acetoin reductases One member of this family, as characterized in Klebsiella terrigena, is described as able to interconvert acetoin + NADH with meso-2,3-butanediol + NAD(+). It is also called capable of irreversible reduction of diacetyl with NADH to acetoin. Blomqvist, et al. decline to specify either EC 1.1.1.4 which is (R,R)-butanediol dehydrogenase, or EC 1.1.1.5, which is acetoin dehydrogenase without a specified stereochemistry, for this enzyme. This enzyme is a homotetramer in the family of short chain dehydrogenases (pfam00106). Another member of this family, from Corynebacterium glutamicum, is called L-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase ().
