Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), a common enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle,is composed of two identical subunits that are held together by varying interactions [4].These two subunits can dissociate without losing catalytic activity and reassemble in thepresence of substrate. Each subunit has a molecular weight about 35000 daltons andcontains one binding site for a c () ~ p. zyme. Malate dehydrogenase activity is measured withspectrophotometer absorbance at 340 nm that monitors due to NAD reduction or NADHoxidation. With oxaloacetate and NADH as substrates, the initial reaction velocities are aboutfour times greater than that with malate and NAD as substrates (Table 2) [9, 10].
