Isoenzymatic Nature of L-Glutamic Dehydrogenase of Higher Plants

Nature volume 207, pages 193–194 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

ELECTROPHORESIS of albumins of mature seeds of Vicia faba on polyacrylamide gel, with subsequent location of L-glutamic acid dehydrogenase (L-glutamate: NAD oxidoreductase (deaminating) EC 1.4.1.2) (GDH), using a tetrazolium procedure, revealed that this enzyme could be separated into a number of isoenzymes. A preliminary investigation has been made of these isoenzymes together with an examination of their distribution within the seeds and seedlings of Vicia faba (broad bean) and Pisum sativum (pea).
