Abstract excerpt
Five positions in the Escherichia coli malate dehydrogenase (eMDH) sequence, which distinguish MDH from lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, were identified through a combination of Venn diagrams constructed from whole genomic data and from unbiased representative sequences from terminal clades. Incorporation of the five changes in eMDH sufficed to convert the enzyme from one with...
