Abstract The substrate specificity of soluble alanine aminotransferase from pig heart was examined. On the basis of competitive inhibition studies it was concluded that, in many cases, the low reactivities of enzyme-substrate analogue complexes were due to the effect of the amino acid side chains on the maximum reaction velocity rather than to a change

Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio and subsequent cancer development [PDF]
Background We aimed to evaluate the association between the aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio and subsequent development of any type of cancer in an apparently healthy population.

Alanine aminotransferase controls seed dormancy in barley [PDF]
Seed dormancy allows wild barley grains to survive dry summers in the Near East but has been selected against for industrial applications such as beer and whisky production that require quicker germination. Here Sato et al.
