D-Malate dehydrogenase

Recombinant D-malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating; EC 1.1.1.83) is purified from a modified E. coli strain. D-Malate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of malate into pyruvate and carbon dioxide (using NAD+). This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include D-malate dehydrogenase, D-malic enzyme, bifunctional L(+)-tartrate dehydrogenase-D(+)-malate, and (decarboxylating). This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism. The enzyme is provided in 3.2 M ammonium sulphate and should be stored at 4 °C. Swirl to mix the enzyme suspension immediately prior to use.
