The three letters designate the amino acids at positions 168, 211 and 236 (e.g., MKD = Met168 Lys211 Asp236). The remaining residues were the same as in Adh1, except for the following changes (using sequence numbering of Adh1 from S. cerevisiae): Asn15 Pro30 Thr58 Ala74 Glu147 Leu213 Ile232 Cys259 Val265 Leu270 Ser277 Asn324.
