| Abstract: | Purified cytoplasmic and membrane-bound lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) from white muscle of skate were characterized, Km for pyruvate and NADH for purified LDH were 150 +/- 16 and 29 +/- 7 microM, and for membrane-bound LDH were 185 +/- 22 and 7.5 +/- 1.5 microM, respectively. The membrane-bound enzyme was not inhibited by high pyruvate concentration (up to 20 mM) in contrast to purified LDH. Part of membrane-bound LDH was released by incubation in solutions with a high level of KCl (up to 1 M) or at alkaline pH. The inactivation rate during trypsin digestion for solubilized LDH was 2-3-fold higher than that for the membrane-bound enzyme. |
