Abstract

There has been considerable discussion whether enzymes, generally identified as constituent of ‘soluble cellular fraction’, may be organized into multienzyme complexes.1,2 Much attention has been paid to the possibility of complex formation between enzymes which catalyze successive reactions in the same metabolic pathway3-6.
