  Aldehyde - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
An aldehyde is either a functional group consisting of a terminal carbonyl group, or a compound containing a terminal carbonyl group.
Aldehydes are named by IUPAC nomenclature by changing the suffix -e of the parent alkane to -al.
Aldehydes can react with water (under acidic or basic conditions) to form hydrates, R-C(H)(OH)(OH), although these are only stable when strong electron withdrawing groups are present as in chloral hydrate.

 Aldehyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group, i.e., a O=CH- group attached to hydrogen or a carbon chain.
Acyclic aliphatic aldehydes are named as derivatives of the longest carbon chain containing the aldehyde group.
Aldehydes are also commonly recognised as alkanals, for example, methanal and ethanal are the basic aldehydes.

 Sythesis of Aldehydes
Aldehydes and ketones are synthesized by the oxidation of various kinds of alcohols.
The aldehyde immediately continues to be oxidized to an acid.
The oxidation of an aldehyde to an acid is a case where oxygen is added to the reducing agent (aldehyde).

 The Candida/Aldehyde detox pathway and the Molybdenum Connection
This enzyme is aldehyde oxidase, or sometimes, aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Aldehydes encountered dietarily or environmentally or produced in the body must be handled by aldehyde oxidase metabolic pathways.
The conversion of acetaldehyde into acetic acid" for this reaction to occur, threonine to acetaldehyde to acetic acid to acetyl coenzyme A, NAD (niacine amide) is required, and aldehyde oxidase is dependent of riboflavin, iron, and molybdenum.

 InterPro: IPR012303 NAD-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (1.2.1.3 and 1.2.1.5) are enzymes which oxidize a wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using NADP as a cofactor.
In mammals at least four different forms of the enzyme are known [ 1 ]: class-1 (or Ald C) a tetrameric cytosolic enzyme, class-2 (or Ald M) a tetrameric mitochondrial enzyme, class- 3 (or Ald D) a dimeric cytosolic enzyme, and class IV a microsomal enzyme.

 R-5.6.1 Aldehydes, thioaldehydes, and their analogues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Aldehydes corresponding to carboxylic acids with trivial names (see R-9.1, Table 28(a)) are named by changing the "-ic acid" or "-ioc acid" ending of the acid name to "-aldehyde".
Chalcogen analogues of aldehydes are named using suffixes such as "-thial", "-selenal", "-carbothialdehyde", and "-carboselenaldehyde" and prefixes such as "thioformyl-" and "thioxo-"
The use of the prefixes "thio-", "seleno-", and "telluro-" with trivial names of aldehydes such as acetaldehyde to indicate replacement of an aldehydic oxygen atom is not included in these recommendations.

 aldehyde
The hypothesis in the book is that CFS is caused by the malfunction or reduction of a certain muscle enzyme (aldehyde dehydrogenase) that causes a build up of the chemical acetaldehyde.
Acetaldehyde (called "aldehyde" for short in the rest of this article) is a nasty chemical that, when once triggered, can theoretically set off a vicious cycle within the muscles that results in more aldehyde buildup whenever the sufferer exercises.
Excess aldehyde can cause all kinds of problems for the human body including all the multi-system complaints found in the typical CFS sufferer.

 Aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase family
Enzymes of the aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase (AOR) family [1, 2] contain, as a rule, a tungsten cofactor and an [Fe cluster and catalyse the interconversion of aldehydes to carboxylates (1).
AOR has been proposed to be the primary enzyme responsible for oxidising the aldehydes that are produced by the 2­keto acid oxidoreductases [6].
