Application

Alanine dehydrogenase (ald) is an oxidoreductase that is involved in taurin/hypotaurine metabolism and CO2 fixation. It is used in various enzyme assays and in kinetic studies .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alanine dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible reductive amination of pyruvate using NADH as an oxidation/reduction cofactor .

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which converts 1 μmol L-alanine per minute at pH 10.0 and 30°C (NAD as cofactor).

The kinetic mechanism of alanine dehydrogenase from soybean nodule bacteroids was studied by initial velocity experiments with or without product inhibitors, dead-end inhibitors, or alternate substrates. Without inhibitors, double-reciprocal plots of initial velocity experiments showed intersecting lines, indicating a sequential

To better understand the global effects of "natural" lesions in genes involved in the pyruvate metabolism in Mycobacterium bovis, null mutations were made in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv ald and pykA genes to mimic the M. bovis situation. Like M.

Escherichia coli W was genetically engineered to produce L: -alanine as the primary fermentation product from sugars by replacing the native D: -lactate dehydrogenase of E. coli SZ194 with alanine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. As a result, the heterologous alanine

This study describes a method to computationally assess the function of homologous enzymes through small molecule binding interaction energy. Three experimentally determined X-ray structures and four enzyme models from ornithine cyclo-deaminase, alanine dehydrogenase, and mu-crystallin were used in combination with

L-alanine dehydrogenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalyzes the NADH-dependent reversible conversion of pyruvate and ammonia to L-alanine. Expression of the gene coding for this enzyme is up-regulated in the persistent phase of the organism, and alanine dehydrogenase is therefore a potential
