Complex crystal structure of ALDH3A1 bound to octanal. (a) ALDH3A1 dimer represented with octanal (yellow). (b) ALDH3A1 active site bound to octanal near catalytic cysteine 243. Octanal, Asn 114, and Cys 243 are all present as double conformations, observed from the corresponding 2mFo-DFc electron density map contoured at 1.2 σ. Side chain residues are shown as green sticks.
