Abstract: | An assay method for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in which none of the primary products accumulate and which gives linear kinetics under physiological conditions has been developed. It is based on the use of the 1,3-diphosphoglycerate produced by the enzyme for the formation of NADPH, while the NADH produced is recycled with an auxiliary system. Revised Km values at pH 7.4 for the muscle (rabbit and rat) enzyme are: glyceraldehyde-3-P, 50 μM; NAD, 100 μM; Pi, 10 mM. The rat erythrocyte enzyme gave similar values except for glyceraldehyde-3-P which was 300 μM. Cooperativity for NAD+ tends to be positive but is a variable parameter. |
