General description

L-Leucine Dehydrogenase is a member of the amino acid dehydrogenase family.

Application

L-Leucine Dehydrogenase from Bacillus cereus has been used to determine the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) spectrophotometrically in serum samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Leucine Dehydrogenase is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH)-dependent oxidoreductase. It is involved in catalyzing the reductive amination of aliphatic 2-oxo-acids to their respective L-amino acids.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of L‑leucine to α-ketoisocaproate per min at pH 10.5 at 37 °C.

Leucine dehydrogenase is an octameric enzyme which belongs to the superfamily of amino-acid dehydrogenases and catalyses the reversible oxidative deamination of leucine to 2-ketoisocaproate, with the corresponding reduction of the cofactor NAD(+). Catalysis by this enzyme is thought to involve
