Biochemical Studies of Glutamate Dehydrogenase in Fusobacterium from Human Dental Plaque

Enzymatic properties of glutamate dehydrogenase in rabbit masseters.

“…COLDIN and FRIEDEN [9] reported that GDH from bovine liver had NADand NADP-dependent. MAKINO [14] reported that GDH from Fusobacterium had NAD-dependent. We also studied GDH from rabbit masseters using NADH and NADPH as coenzymes.…”

“…Many papers have been published on the enzymatic properties of L-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in various mammalian tissues [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], in bacteria [12][13][14], and in plants [15,16]. In oral tissue, KOHATA [6] reported on the subcellular distribution of GDH in rabbit dental pulp and MAKINO [14] reported on the enzymological properties of GDH in Fusobacterium from human dental plaque, such as molecular weight, coenzyme specificity and its kinetic mechanism. However, little has been reported on the enzymological properties of GDH in masseters and its enzymatic characterization is not well-known.…”
