T1 - Coenzyme binding at different ionization states of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase T2 - Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, C N2 - pH-titrations with NADH show two ionizable groups in mitochondrial and cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase, the first with a pKa in the range 6.8 -8.3 for the mitochondrial and 6.4-7.8 for the cytoplasmic enzyme, the second with a lower limit at 10.2 resp. 11. Comparison with bis-(dihydronicotinamide)-dinucleotide and dihydronicotina-mide-ribosyl-P2-ribose-pyrophosphate instead of NADH indicates that the second alkaline ionization is caused by a residue placed near the adenine binding site of the active centre of the two isoenzymes. Binding studies with NADH and NAD+ give evidence for the participation of a group in the mitochondrial enzyme with pKa 6.8, deprotonation of which is necessary for detectable association of NAD+. In contrast the fixation of NAD+ to the cytoplasmic enzyme is independent of pH.
