AbstractHelp

Malate dehydrogenase (EC:1.1.1.37) (MDH) [1] catalyzes the interconversion of malate to oxaloacetate utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system. The enzyme participates in the citric acid cycle and exists in all aerobics organisms.

While prokaryotic organisms contains a single form of MDH, in eukaryotic cells there are two isozymes: one which is located in the mitochondrial matrix and the other in the cytoplasm. Fungi and plants also harbor a glyoxysomal form which functions in the glyoxylate pathway. In plants chloroplast there is an additional NADP-dependent form of MDH (EC:1.1.1.82) which is essential for both the universal C3 photosynthesis (Calvin) cycle and the more specialised C4 cycle.

The pattern for this enzyme includes two residues involved in the catalytic mechanism [2]: an aspartic acid which is involved in a proton relay mechanism, and an arginine which binds the substrate.
