Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from Pig Muscle

Nature volume 219, pages 1025–1028 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

A unique amino-acid sequence for the polypeptide chain of pig muscle glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been derived. This shows that the active enzyme contains four polypeptide chains of identical sequence and that there is a striking homology between the sequence of this enzyme and that of the same enzyme from lobster—a phylogenetically distant organism.
