Description
L-Alanine dehydrogenase is an A-stereospecific dehydrogenase that catalyzes the reversible deamination of L-alanine to pyruvate and ammonium. It is important for the geneRation of pyruvate during sporulation. L-Alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis has a predominately ordered kinetic mechanism in which NAD binds before L-alanine. Subsequently, ammonia, pyruvate, and NADH are released in that specific order. Optimal pH for the amination reaction is 8.8-9.0, whereas it is 10-10.5 for the deamination reaction. The enzyme is inactivated by divalent metal ions and p-chloromercuribenzoate, mercuric ion being most effective. The inactivation may be reversed by L-or D-cysteine.
