In enzymology, fluoren-9-ol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.256) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ NAD+
 
 
 
H+
Fluoren-9-ol dehydrogenase
 
H+
 
+ NADH
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are fluorenol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are fluorenone, reduced NADH, and a proton. The enzyme can also use the alternative cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. [1] [2] [3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is fluoren-9-ol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in fluorene degradation.
