General description

Cytoplasmic Isozyme

Application

Malic dehydrogenase has been used in a study to assess the use of a long-wavelength homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the determination of amikacin in water samples. It has also been used in a study to investigate the lipid metabolism in a liver exposed to cadmium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The surfactant cetyl (hexadecyl) trimethylammonium bromide inhibits the cytoplasmic isoform of porcine heart malate dehydrogenase but has no effect on the mitochondrial form. SDS however; inhibits both isoforms.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of oxalacetate and β-NADH to L-malate and β-NAD per min at pH 7.5 at 25 °C.

Physical form

Suspension in 3.2 M (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 M KH2PO4, pH 7.0

A simple and rapid homogeneous enzyme immunoassay involving the use of the malic dehydrogenase enzyme and a long-wavelength fluorophor, the oxazine Cresyl Violet, is proposed for the determination of the antibiotic amikacin in water samples. An enzymatic tracer has been

Nanogram amounts of soluble aminopeptidases, dehydrogenases, and esterases were detected by nondenaturing ultralow gelling point agarose-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (ULGA-PAGE). Cytosolic fractions from Frankia sp. were electrophoresed at 4 degrees C in the presence of Co2+, Zn2+, or Mg2+ ions. Then

Numerous inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) are being developed in view of their potential applications against cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. Among these, paullones constitute a family of potent and apparently selective cyclin-dependent kinase and GSK-3 inhibitors.

The cationic surfactant, cetyl (hexadecyl) trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), completely inactivates porcine heart cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (L-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37) at concentrations (of surfactant) which do not affect the activity of the mitochondrial isoenzyme. These concentrations are close to, or higher
