Procedure

To be exact, the glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.1) used in the present invention is an enzyme reversibly catalyzes the production of S-formylglutathione and reduced coenzyme in the presence of oxidized coenzyme, using, as a substrate, S-hydroxylmethylglutathione non-enzymatically produced from glutathione and formaldehyde.
