These enzymes are members of the larger class of aldehyde dehydrogenases.

Oxygen is used to remove an amine group from a molecule, resulting in the corresponding aldehyde and ammonia.

The Cbz group of intermediate 3 is removed by hydrogenolysis to give an unsubstituted amide (4) and an aldehyde (5).

An aldol reaction, for example, is inherently diastereoselective if the aldehyde is enantiopure, the resulting aldol adduct is diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure.

When an α hydrogen is present (as is the case when the carbonyl is an aldehyde), it will tautomerize to the corresponding enone.

The main action of these aldehyde fixatives is to cross link amino groups in proteins through the formation of methylene bridges ( CH2 ), in the case of formaldehyde, or by a C5H10 cross links in the case of glutaraldehyde.
