Title | Archaebacterial Citrate Synthases: The Enzymes from the Thermoacidophiles Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Thermoplasma acidophilum Show pro-S Stereospecificity ![]() | ||
Abstract | Citrate synthase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was purified 365-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity. At 40 °C and pH 8.1 the homogeneous enzyme shows a specific activity of 73 units per mg, which corresponds to a turnover number of 44 sec-1. Citrate synthase from S. acidocaldarius shows pro-S stereospecificity, as is found with a partially purified preparation of the enzyme from Thermoplasma acidophilum, another thermoacidophilic archaebacterium. | ||
