Abstract
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is found in all eukaryotic cells as two isozymes:mitochondrial (mMDH) and cytoplasmic (soluble, sMDH) (1). In constrast, prokaryotes contain only a single form of MDH. The crystal structures of MDH from Escherichia coli (2 3), porcine cytoplasm (4), porcine mitochondria (5 6), and Thermus flavus (7) have been solved and are essentially identical. Refer to ref. (8) for a comprehensive review on MDH.
