Application

β-Galactose Dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens has been used for competitive inhibition in lectin histochemistry. It has also been used to measure the hydrolysis activity of Haloferax alicantei β-galactosidase on different disaccharides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-galactose dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-galactose to D-galactono-gammalactone.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-galactose to D-galactonate per min at pH 8.6 at 25 °C.

We have studied the enzymological properties of L-galactose dehydrogenase (l-GalDH), a key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of l-ascorbate (AsA) in plants. L-GalDH was purified approximately 560-fold from spinach leaves. The enzyme was a homodimer with a subunit mass of

A chimeric bifunctional enzyme composing of galactose dehydrogenase (galDH; from Pseudomonas fluorescens) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; from Bacillus stearothermophilus) was successfully constructed. The chimeric galDH/LDH possessed dual characteristics of both galactose dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activities while exhibiting hexameric rearrangement
