Popis: myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase [EC 5.5.1.4; 1L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate lyase, (isomerizing)] from Pinus ponderosa pollen has been partially purified and characterized. It has a pH optimum between 7.25 and 7.75. The km for d -glucose 6-phosphate (NAD+ constant at 1 m m ) is 0.33 m m . Inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-ethyl-maleimide, and partial protection against this inhibition by d -glucose 6-phosphate in the presence of NAD+, suggests that there is sulfhydryl group involvement at the substrate binding site.
