title: Kinetic studies on the lactate dehydrogenase isozymes of the brown trout, Salmo trutta L.
abstract: Informative crosses have verified the genetic basis of a polymorphism at the Ldh-1 locus in brown trout and enzyme activity measurements indicate that the previously described polymorphism at this locus is best explained by a null allele. The LDH-1, LDH-2, LDH-3 and LDH-4 homotetrameric isozymes were purified and subjected to enzyme kinetic analysis. While LDH-1 and LDH-2 displayed catalytic equivalence, important kinetic differences were found between the LDH-3 and LDH-4 isozymes.
