Amino-acid Sequence of Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from Lobster Muscle

Nature volume 216, pages 1181–1185 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

The protein sub-unit of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase consists of a single chain of 333 amino-acid residues, corresponding to a molecular weight of 36,000. Amino-acid sequence studies show that the active enzyme-NAD complex with a molecular weight of 146,000 is composed of four protein chains of identical sequence.
