Description
The product decarboxylates spontaneously to yield 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
β-isopropylmalic enzyme; β-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase; threo-Ds-3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase; 3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Reaction
(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate + NAD+ = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + CO2 + NADH + H+ (overall reaction); (1a) (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate + NAD+ = (2S)-2-isopropyl-3-oxosuccinate + NADH + H+; (1b) (2S)-2-isopropyl-3-oxosuccinate = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + CO2 (spontaneous)
