Malate dehydrogenase (NAD)

Description:
Malate dehydrogenase (NAD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), facilitating the reversible conversion of malate to oxaloacetate while reducing NAD+ to NADH. This enzyme is essential for cellular respiration and energy production in aerobic organisms. It is characterized by its dependence on the coenzyme NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which acts as an electron carrier in various metabolic processes. Malate dehydrogenase is found in various tissues, including the liver and heart, and exists in different isoforms, which may vary in their kinetic properties and regulatory mechanisms. The enzyme operates optimally at specific pH and temperature ranges, which can vary depending on the source organism. Its activity can be influenced by factors such as substrate concentration, product inhibition, and the presence of allosteric regulators. Understanding the characteristics of malate dehydrogenase is vital for research in biochemistry, metabolic engineering, and potential therapeutic applications.
