title: Substrate activation behaviour of pyruvate decarboxylase from Pisum sativum cv. Miko.
abstract: The substrate activation behaviour of pyruvate decarboxylase from germinating seeds of Pisum sativum is characterised kinetically via stopped-flow measurements and discussed with respect to other species. The involvement of SH-groups in this process is demonstrated by reference experiments with chemically modified enzyme.
