title: [An immunochemical study of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase].
abstract: Immunochemical study of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from rat skeletal muscle was done using antibodies, raised in rabbit. One molecule of the enzyme binds three antibody molecules at the equivalence point and eight molecules at full saturation of the antibody binding sites. Modification of SH-groups of the dehydrogenase with pCMB, as well as ADP-induced inactivation of the enzyme do not cause any alterations in the quantitative precipitation curve. This suggests that antigenic determinants and the active site are situated in different loci on the enzyme molecule. A quantitative relationship between the dehydrogenase concentration and the percentage decrease of its catalytic activity in the presence of antibody excess are established, and a mechanism of apparent inhibition in the insoluble immune complex is proposed.
