Popis: The supernatant form of malate dehydrogenase l -malate; DPN oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37 has been purified from the heart of a Masai ostrich ( Struthio camelus ). The enzyme was crystallized and was found to be homogeneous on ultracentrifugal analysis, having a s 20,w value of 3.8. The properties of this enzyme have been compared with the properties of partially purified ostrich mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase and with crystalline chicken supernatant and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenases. Both ostrich enzymes have properties very similar to their counterparts in chicken. The amino acid compositions of ostrich and chicken supernatant malate dehydrogenases are strikingly similar.
