Further studies on lactate dehydrogenase from serum of leukemic individuals. 1979

S A Al-Mudhaffar, and M B Rassam

The kinetic properties of SLDH were investigated in untreated patients with acute leukemia at 37 degrees. SLDH was found to be inhibited by high pyruvate concentrations to a degree which depended on the pH of the reaction mixture; the degree of inhibition of normal SLDH at pH 7.5 was much higher than leukemic SLDH. 0.4M citrate was found to activate SLDH reaction rate at low pyruvate concentrations, while it was inhibitory at high pyruvate concentrations; the degree of inhibition being greater for leukemic SLDH than for normal SLDH. Citrate was also found to be a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to NADH and the value of Ki was determined. Methanol (3-4M), acted as a strong inhibitor to SLDH. The inhibition was found to be purely non-competitive with respect to pyruvate. Ki was calculated to be four times higher for leukemic SLDH than for normal SLDH.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007770 L-Lactate Dehydrogenase A tetrameric enzyme that, along with the coenzyme NAD+, catalyzes the interconversion of LACTATE and PYRUVATE. In vertebrates, genes for three different subunits (LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C) exist. Lactate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, L-Lactate,Dehydrogenase, Lactate,L Lactate Dehydrogenase
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
