Abstract excerpt
L-Lactate dehydrogenase from Bifidobacterium longum shows homotropic activation by pyruvate as well as heterotropic activation by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Hybrid enzymes were produced from the wild-type subunit and a mutant subunit, whose substrate specificity was altered to that of malate dehydrogenase, and separated to analyze the substrate-induced homotropic activation mechanism. Oxamate, a competitive...
