Alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes of Triticum: Dissociation and recombination of subunits

  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Conditions have been defined for the dissociation of active forms of Triticum alcohol dehydrogenase (alcohol: NAD oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.1.1.1) into monomers and for the reassociation of the subunits into active enzymes. Results of experiments in which the subunits of genetically controlled electrophoretic variants of alcohol dehydrogenase were dissociated and recombined in crude tissue extracts support the hypothesis that the enzyme exists functionally as a dimer in Triticum.
