title: Isoenzymatic pattern and structure of glutamate dehydrogenase from Ascaris suum.
abstract: The isoenzymatic pattern of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) has been described for Ascaris suum a parasite of Sus scrofa domestica. Only one band of activity has been revealed, suggesting a monomorphic condition for this enzyme. Also, the structure of GDH has been assayed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and silver staining. Only one subunit was present with a molecular weight of about 55,000. A hexameric structure for GDH of A. suum is suggested.
