Acylation of aspartate aminotransferase [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1967
1. Acetylation of aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart inhibits completely the enzymic activity when the coenzyme is in the amino form (pyridoxamine phosphate) or when the coenzyme has been removed, but not when the coenzyme is in the aldehyde form (pyridoxal phosphate). 2.

Photoinactivation of Aspartate Aminotransferase

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1970
Abstract The cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate bound through an aldimine linkage to lysine residues of the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase is very stable to irradiation with light of 420 nm. The catalytic function of the enzyme exposed to light absorbed by the cofactor remains unaffected, indicating that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is not an efficient ...

MACRO-ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE

Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2021
Measurement of serum enzyme activity is one of the most common laboratory tests. Increased activity may be caused by abnormal enzymes with a high molecular mass, the so-called macroenzymes. Macroenzymes may be seen in healthy subjects, but can also be related to disease. Macro-aspartate aminotransferase (macro-AST) is a macroenzyme that results from an
