In reduced circumstances: Tetrahydroxynaphthalenereductase shows a broad substrate range including alternate phenolic compounds and cyclic ketones. Structural modeling reveals major enzyme–substrate interactions; C‐terminal truncation of the enzyme causes an altered substrate preference, in accordance with stabilization of the substrate by the C‐terminal carboxylate (see picture). This effect allows
