| Key scientific achievements | For the first time, using native gel-electrophoresis, the NAD-MDH isoenzyme spectrum was studied in isolated subcellular fractions of assimilating leaf tissues from a C3 plant wheat and a C4 plant amaranth grown in the field under normal water supply and drought conditions. Optimum conditions were found for homogenization and maximum activity of NAD-MDH in different subcellular fractions. Molecular mass and Rf of NAD-MDH isoforms were determined for each subcellular fraction. Some physicochemical parameters and catalytic properties of NAD-MDH isoforms, values of Km for NAD-MDH substrates (malate and oxaloacetate) and Vmax of direct and reverse reactions were determined in each subcellular fraction. Effects of NADH concentration, temperature and pH of the reaction medium on NAD-MDH activity were studied. |
