[Influence of water activity on the enzymatic changes in freeze-dehydrated muscle. IV. Change in the activity of glycolytic enzymes during storage (author's transl)]. 1977

K Potthast, and R Hamm, and L Acker

The influence of water activity (25-65% r.h.) on the changes in activity of glycolytic enzymes during storage (up to 120 days) of freeze-dehydrated bovine muscle was investigated. For this purpose, at different times of storage the decrease of glycogen and the increase in lactate in the rehydrated samples were determined. At 25% r.h. no loss in activity was observed. However, during storage at 40% r.h. and higher the glycolytic activity decreased; this effect increased with rising water activity. The denaturation of the enzyme proteins might be due to Maillard reactions, particularly to the reaction of proteins with the highly reactive glycolytic metabolites glyceraldehyde phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate.

D006019 Glycolysis A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.

D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
