The biochemical activity of AldC from PtoDC3000 is consistent with the traditional role of aldehyde dehydrogenases as metabolic clean-up enzymes that convert reactive aldehydes into less active carboxylates.

Ald C shared 30-40% of amino acid residues as AldA and Ald B.
In the AldC crystal structure, Phe 456 pie stacks with Tyr 468, which forms an interaction network with Tyr 163 and Trp 450.
The adenine ring of NAD1 is mainly stabilized by multiple van der Waals interactions with Pro216, Ile233, Leu242, and Val243,along with a hydrogen bond with a water molecule in an apolar pocket. As with nicotinamide-ribose binding, polar interactions between the adenine-ribose ring and the side-chains of Lys182 and Glu185 contribute to NAD1 binding.
