Activating Effect of p-( Ch1oromercuri)benzoate on the Cytoplasmic Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Sheep Liver? Rosemary L. Motion, Leonard F. Blackwell, and Paul D. Buckley*
ABSTRACT:
In the absence of NAD+, up to 12 S H groups on aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) reacted rapidly with p (ch1oromercuri)benzoate (PCMB); a slow reaction with more than twice this number of S H groups then occurred. When PCMB was added to an assay mixture at low (
