pH Dependence of the Kinetic Parameters for the Oxalacetate Decarboxylation and Pyruvate Reduction Reactions Catalyzed by Malic Enzyme
Description:
Ascaris suum NAD-malic enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxalacetate and reduction of pyruvate. Thus, the present classification (E.C. 1.1.1.39) for this enzyme should be changed to E.C. 1.1.1.38. In the absence of nucleotide, both the chicken liver NADP-malic enzyme and Ascaris suum NAD-malic enzymes catalyze the decarboxylation of oxalacetate. A study of the pH dependence of kinetic parameters for oxalacetate decarboxylation and pyruvate reduction was carried out for the NAD(P)-malic en…
