Application

Iodonitrotetrazolium (INT) is a tetrazolium dye precursor that forms a purple formazan dye on reduction and has been used in a variety of applications. It is considered to have higher reactivity than some tetrazolium compounds, at least with respect to succinate dehydrogenase, with optimal results obtained using a concentration of 0.8 mM INT. INT is used as an electron acceptor for the colorimetric assays of: lactate dehydrogenase, xanthine dehydrogenase, lactyl-CoA dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, BBM II ketolisomerase, histidinol dehydrogenase and diverse other hydrolases.

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent kinases are central to numerous metabolic processes and mediate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP). While pyruvate kinase (PK, EC: 2.7.1.40), the final enzyme of the glycolytic pathway is critical in the anaerobic synthesis

Biogeochemical processes mediated by microorganisms in river sediments (hyporheic sediments) play a key role in river metabolism. Because biogeochemical reactions in the hyporheic zone are often limited to the top few decimetres of sediments below the water-sediment interface, slow filtration

The properties of the recombinant ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase of Synechocystis PCC6803 were determined by means of kinetic and spectroscopic approaches in comparison to those exhibited by the bacterial NADPH-dependent enzyme form. The ferredoxin-dependent enzyme was found to be similar to
